Description

This is the obvious, shallow, unjammable gutter-like groove that runs up the steep lower half of the slab.  Enjoy excellent climbing up crystals and small holds and features, following The Gutter past three bolts.  From a good stance above the Gutter, place gear in the overlap and pull onto the steep upper slab to clip another bolt.  Climb the steep slab following good holds to another stance at the base of a short dihedral in a jutting, overhanging block.  Jam and stem your way up the finger crack dihedral and pull onto the lower angle slab above.  Wander up and right searching for gear to finish on the two bolt anchor.  

Location

Approaching from the Ridge Trail, it is best to rappel to the base of the climb from above using the bolted rappel anchor.  A full 60m rope is required to reach the base.  

Protection

There are 4 bolts. Pick a few cams and nuts from small fingers to hands and some slings. Bolted anchor at the top.
