Pinner Face

A friction slab start, jugs, a tricky, balancy crux, and then nice plate edges to finish.

Start up the steepening friction slab past the first bolt to a very welcome rail. Clip the second bolt and scrabble upward to gain the tantalizing jugs above. Clip the third bolt, surmount the steep bulge, and then cruise on easier ground through a runout to the fourth bolt.

Take a breather and then start up on good edges until you find yourself temporarily stymied. Figure this bit out, heave a sigh of relief, and pick your way among "elephant ears" to the chains.

Found near the right end of the east side of
