SMASH!

High-quality face climbing; a good stepping stone to some of the harder routes.

Hard moves right off the ground: step up into a waist-high horizontal, then go up the face to a horizontal crack. Continue up the steepening wave of rock to a crux where the angle changes back to slab. Up the slab to a spacious ledge and a fixed anchor on the back wall.

The crux involves a deadpoint off a sloper-pinch.

Begin 10' downhill and right of Ape X and just left of The Slash.

Quickdraws.
