Description

First pitch is the crux of this route. Clip the first bolt of Young Tree, mantle onto the ledge then go straight up past some tricky 5.10 face climbing past two more bolts that gets you to the start of the traverse. Squeeze into the rest and contemplate eighty feet of straight left traversing. Clip a mix of cams and bolts until you clip the last bolt. Tricky moves into the Alpine Diversions crack (A little run out!) for gear then your looking at the crux. Start at No Place For a Puritan to do the easier last four pitches. climb up the crack about ten feet then start traversing left on the under clings and slab for the feet.
