Donut Panic

The route wanders a bit, but there's some fun climbing to be had! The final pitch is not recommended for a brand new 5.8 leader.

P1: Follow lichen-y corner, but it's mostly face climbing. Protection is a bit sparse and footing can feel insecure due to the lichen, but it's easy climbing. Transitioning from the corner onto the face is likely the crux. 5.6 35-40m pitch

Move belay up series of ledges or extend the pitch further to the obvious cracks above

P2: Follow clean finger cracks with plenty of footholds on the face. More sustained climbing than P1 for about half the pitch, then it becomes an easy romp to liger ledge. 5.6 35ish meter

Once on the ledge, move belay/scramble left to the prominent dihedral. Nice bit of exposure here!

P3: Climb the corner, placing nuts and microcams in thin corner cracks to back up a nice .75 BD placement on the face. Rather than pull through the roof and potentially trundle oneself with a loose block, pull onto the face about 10 feet from the roof (crux). Fun movement on easy holds to the top! 5.8, 30m

Start at the base further left of Nerd Wall, requires a bit of scrambling to get to the beginning of the right-facing corner.

Gear to 2', some microcams are nice for the crux of P3. Gear anchors
