Description

This climbs just to the right of the enjoyable

The Memory of Trees

.

Start up the face 5 feet right of

The Memory of Trees

by a left-facing corner. Then scramble up to a small overhang and the second bolt. For the next couple bolts, the objective is to have as much fun as possible staying high on the face, avoiding the large tree and class 4 corner on the right. The best part of the climb is near the end, when the quasi-traversing ends and you fire straight up to the two-bolt anchor shared with The Memory of Trees.

The crux may be found at the start or high on the face near the 6th bolt. May be easier than 5.8 if "cheating" and finding the easiest line....

Protection

7 bolts to a two-bolt anchor. 60m rope needed to lower.
