A deceptively steep climb which proves to be harder than it looks.

Move up to good ledge and reach up to a good ledge in order to clip the first bolt.   Move up onto the ledge and fight the desire to fall off backwards.

Clip the second and then make the crux moves to gain the slab above.   Once established on the slab continue easily passing the 3rd bolt up to the anchors.

This climbs the striking central arete and overhang in the middle of the cliff.

Start on the arete, and make a balancy sequence of moves passed the 1st bolt and up to the 2nd bolt.

Continue directly up the arete to the overhang and make a hard sequence of moves to gain better holds in the groove above the overhang. Clip the 3rd bolt and continue directly to the anchors.

Start directly below the rounded arete, and continue up the arete with a mixture of face moves and laybacking on the arete.

At the top of the arete, clip the directional bolt and head right to the back of the bay and the anchors.

Climb the slab to the small overlap and the first bolt.   Step up onto the slab above and follow the good line of holds up the seam, passing the second bolt.

At the top of the slab move into the bay and the anchors, located on the wall at the back (shared with

Start left of

Slap and Tickle

in a left-facing corner and climb a slabby ramp to a vertical headwall with several under-clings. Work up the headwall to a devious crux section and mantle onto the ledge just left of Slap & Tickle and then wander up low-angled slab to finish on a short section of off-vertical face just left of Slap & Tickle's finish.
