This climb climbs the middle of the slabby face.

From a standing start just on the left of the middle of the face (3' right of Spencer), pull onto the slab and gain a standing position on two good slopping edges.

Now climb directly up the slab on reasonable holds to some nice finishing finger jugs.

Start with your left hand on the sloping rail and the right on a high sidepull.   Make a strenuous sequence of moves to gain a standing position on the hanging slab, and better holds for the hands.

Romp up the slab above to finish.

Located close to the main wall of the Island, this is a good problem that has unfortunately seen the typical graffiti and paint damage that continues to be a problem at this area. Rated 5.9 in the Fry guide, the paint has definitely made this a bit more challenging. Begin at a good in-cut crimp and make a tricky move up and right with poor, painted-over footholds.
