Description

Sustained climbing in the center of the cave.  Start up the shared layback crack for three bolts and move slightly right, aiming for a small roof at bolt 6.  The crux of the climb starts here, with big moves to good pockets and edges.  A brief shake on jugs at bolt 8 prepares you for a long crank off a shallow right hand key hole with poor feet.  This hold is best as a first team two finger stack.  You get into a good undercling rest at this point, and then have 3 more bolts up a shallow dihedral.  The rock above the undercling is not as good as the rest of the route, but the climbing is somewhat easier.
