Description
Pitch 1 (5.8): climb easy friction to a high first bolt that protects a fun and balancy move. Continue to flakes that provide gear protection, and set up a gear anchor at a grassy ledge.
Pitch 2 (5.10-): veer left and surmount the flake/bulge with a good jug. Clip the first bolt and continue on with steeper, more sustained and edgy friction climbing, following well-spaced bolts along a watermark. The pitch mellows out two thirds of the way up but keeps you attentive with a fair run out.
This might not be a good first 5.10 lead.
Location
Find a black streak on the blank slab and boulder hop to the start behind a large boulder. Look for the first bolt around 20 meters up.
Protection
Pitch 1: 1 bolt, a light rack to 2”, and a gear anchor.
Pitch 2: 5 bolts and a 1 bolt/hand-sized gear anchor.
Walk off to the left.
