Description

Climb face past two bolts (5.12-), cross the wide crack of

Flared Bear,

which arcs right, and then continue up the steep and improbable face above (5.11) to the end of the difficulties where the route joins

The Butt Buttress

at it's second bolt; the route finishes with the upper portion of that route and shares it's bolted anchor.

Incredibly sustained and technical, this route is a testament to the vision and slab mastery of the first ascent party. Seldom done, but worth a go if hard slab climbing is your bag.

Location

This is the left-most bolted route on the west face of The Sentinel, and is bounded on both sides by wide cracks -

Flared Bear

(5.10b) to the left and

Where Janitors Dare

(5.7) on the right.

Protection

7 bolts, gear to 3.5 inches

2 bolt anchor/rap (shared with The Butt Buttress)
