Description

At the left side of the

Cinch Crack

roof, start in the open dihedral. Work up to the rotten band, and traverse right under the roof on easy holds and low-angle smears. Now get ready! Find some marginal gear below the roof, and pull over on buckets or high step over the roof. Continue up and left around the next roof to a comfy belay.

It is quite a bit scary, mainly because the gear is suspect at the crux.

Location

Left of the

Cinch Crack

roof, start in a small, obtuse dihedral.

Walk off to the northwest (uphill) and find a gully.

Protection

Standard rack, but a ballnut protects the easy, right traverse.
