and set up a belay. There is a rap station to your left, but it is easier to stay near the recess where Dihedral,

Wired

, and

Forbidden Planet

begin (see Rossiter's sketch on page 136 of his new guide).

Climb through a short rotten section, then head into the obvious dihedral and cut left and climb around the left side of a positive flake. Going straight up the steep finger crack is solid 5.9 (see the description for

Cornered

). Once on top of the ramp, move up and right to the anchor on top of

Forbidden Planet

.

Rap down and slightly left on a rotten band to another rap station. One more rap with a 60 meter rope gets you to the ground (just barely).

Rossiter lists this climb as a 5.9-, but his sketch shows the flake variation as 5.7. I led it and I believe the 5.7 rating shown in the sketch. Linked with

Your Basic Lieback

, this makes for high quality moderate climb, as well as a great warm up for

Star Wars

.
