Description

Fun committing highball - Stand start under the wide slot at the top and at the little left facing corners down low. Take your pick of the available holds (I used two underclings), pull on and get establish high enough to reach a sharp incut flake with a thumb catch with your left hand, or go all the way up to a good incut pocket in the back if you are tall. A high right pinch will then get you up to a sloper where you can match. Bring your feet up, so you can reach a good edge in a seam up and out left from which you can gain the good horizontal. Carefully top out through the slot.

The sit down start should add considerable difficulty, and the low traverse in from the left even more.

Location

near the middle of the high face, directly below the wide slot at the top

Protection

multiple pads and a good spot. The landing is rocky and it is highball. Don't fall from high.
