MapDescription
This squeezed bolted face climb was omitted from the guidebooks.Scramble up the blocky crack at the start of Ralph's Dilemma, as you would for Flesh Eating Gnats, then step right and climb up the face left of the 'Gnats' arete. Crimp up fun and progressively thinning face to the last bolt, which is followed by an overhanging section to the chains. I thought the last move was the hardest, reachiest, and most strenuous move on the climb, with a powerful lieback to reach the hold to clip the chains. The crack to the left (and face left of it) is assumed to be 'off', but of course you need it to get to the 1st bolt.
Location
The bolted climb left of Flesh Eating Gnats and right of the crack Ralphs Dilemma.
Protection
5 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor
