Fun and exciting leback moves off two stacked detached flakes past two bolts. Then make a big step off the top of the upper block with great holds and find your way up and right to the anchor.

**The anchor is two hangers, so you'll have to belay up a second and walk off to your right (low-4th class).

You could probably lead this route on gear with a small runout after the big step across.

Follows a line of bolts up a featured low-angle slab and over an overlap. The crux is the fairly thin friction slab moves just after the overlap/roof.

Goes up a semi-mossy ramp that if cleaned could take gear to supplement the low-5th runout to the first bolt, which isn't visible from the base of the wall. From there, it's basically a straight line up the low-angle friction slab with features right where you want them.

There is one steep friction bulge section, but there are pretty good hands above to aid in your smears. It really helps to warm-up on the other climbs to the right before doing this if slab isn't your thing!

A few blocky moves up to a high-ish first bolt and then pull over the overlap onto a friction slab. Clip two bolts on this slab- the crux- and reach a bigger overlap which resembles a roof. Easy featured slab moves from there (and kind of sandy) to the chains.

If you don't love friction climbing, the crux is going to feel like there's absolutely nothing. You basically just walk up using your palms.
