Recommend pre-hanging the 3rd draw (requires a long stick). The belayer stance is on an occasional stream, but is good in dry weather. Great climbing through the first 4 bolts, then difficulty is over.

Climb some dusty rock up an arête to a jug rail and traverse right to the first bolt. Make long reaches using good holds to the ledge at the second bolt.

Figure out a wild boulder problem getting off the ledge and reach good holds near the 3rd bolt. Make a difficult clip, find the necessary feet to bump straight up using a shallow pocket and a series of increasingly good bulges. Move right and get your feet underneath you to a good stance. The climbing to the anchors is pretty easy and the lichen does not get in the way.

Did I Mention It's Huge?

The crux is the top out, this route climbs the featured wall to the top. The small tree is your anchor.

Hand traverse left to the first bolt then fire through sustained, powerful movement on incut edges. Long sling recommended for 4th bolt.

Climb the sloping arête on the right until you reach a positive hold, then traverse up and left to a slot at the first bolt. Move past good holds (clip the second bolt early) and make a big reach to a good slot on the face. Match the good slot and find feet for the deadpoint to the crimp. Keep your core tight as you cross to good holds.

Rest up here for 2 more bolts of a little easier, but good climbing, including an awesome, long sidepull reach to a pocket. Finish on easier climbing to the top.

Belayer stance is on an occasional stream, but is good in dry weather.

Gymnastic climbing up the center line for 6 bolts.
