Start on the 'slabby' blank face.  After two bolts up, cut left following the roof seam on two more bolts.  Desperate moves follow.  Link this to Eclipse or all the way to the far left project for a long traverse!

Casey Poulson and I bolted it.  Open project!

Same start as 'Sort of Eclipse'.  Instead of traversing, go straight up.  Get across the horizontal roof using an explosive move off of a terrible sidepull to an awful crimp pocket.  Desperately (possible I'm sure) get yourself out of the roof on to easier terrain.

Casey Poulson and I bolted it.  I'm sure someone can do it.  We were hoping for a better pocket.  Another open project!

Steep, sustained climb perched over the edge of the cave.  Holds are mostly "juggish", with a crimp or two.  Very consistent until you pull the roof, then you have a rest followed by easier climbing to the anchors.  I am not 100% sure that it is a 12a.  Perhaps some would rate it lower.  I'll go with the book's rating.

Very difficult to clean.  The climb lowers about 20 - 30 ft out and 10 ft or so downhill.

Far right climb with a low and high crux!

Steep bouldery start into pumpy technical finish. Really fun climb.
