Description

A great moderate climb. An easy pitch leads to a belay beneath a series of overlaps. Follow the crack through the overhangs and belay at the base of a deep crack that dogleggs sharply to the right. Take the dogleg crack to the left-facing corner and follow this crack system until progress is blocked by overhangs. Traverse 10 ft left, then up through the overhang; continue diagonally up and left for about 50 ft in the crack system, then up and right across a face to the base of an obvious chute, then up a deep chimney. A 4th class crack diagonals up and left to the top.

Location

Begin 45 feet right of the Error and 15 ft left of an obvious crack/corner system.

Protection

Standard Rack to 3". No fixed anchors. Walk down descent by Friction Route or North Gully.
