description
5.10b Incredible, runout face climbing on gorgeous rock. Start left on the ledge and climb easily but scarily over to clip the first bolt (please don’t fall). From hear you quest upwards passing another 4(?) bolts to the obvious traverse right to the semi hanging belay.
5.9 Very very runout straight off the belay and then again after the first bolt on slightly creaky flakes. Afterwards though you have a glorious easy corner to finish up with some excellent 3D climbing. Walk off on climber’s right to find the rap chains.
