Pierced Ear

This is the second route from the left when facing the

Indian Wall

.

P1

5.10c Start up the steep slab clipping the first and second bolt.The crux is encountered at the second bolt passing a small overlap/flake. Continue on up the slab on nice sustained friciton passing several bolts to gain a ledge. After the ledge continue up through on another nice crux using pockets underclings and nice edges to a two bolt anchor.

P2

Continue on up the slab past several bolts to a belay tree.

Continue up a

Sand Dunes

, walk off, or rappel.

I gave this route three stars because I thought it was a super nice friction face route.

This climb is well protected by bolts.
