Description

Pitch 1 (5.7, 100'): Knobs and cracks to gear belay.

Pitch 2 (5.9R, 100'): Knobs past two bolts and a piton. Difficulty eases off after the second bolt, but the pro gets scarce -- small cams and tricams in pockets. Belay at bolts with rap rings.

Location

Starts about a hundred yards or so left of Golfers Route. The second pitch appears as a black streak.

Descend by rappel -- either single 60m rope to rap station off to the right (anchor for Get Sick [5.11a], make sure nobody is on it before throwing ropes) or two 60m ropes will get you to the ground.

Protection

Nuts and cams to 3"; draws and small cams & tricams for second pitch.
