The crux is the start, climb up the flake at the toe of the crag to an arete passing a bolt and a ledge. Parts of this route were likely climbed before but probably not the start, I did not put the bolts on this crag, they are random and I'm sorry but poorly placed. belay from above, or risk a big swing on TR.

The crux is the start, there is a very suspect flake and when I climbed it I aided to get me to the crack in order to avoid the flake and later freed the start on lead without touching the flake.

This climb pulls a short roof and pulling up after the roof seems to be the hard part, beta is undercling and splits. build an anchor just below the top so you don't send talus on your belayer, walk off left.

Clifford the big red dog. Please don't add bolts, it would make this easy fun climb easy and not fun at all. step off a ledge 10 feet up placing your only gear and make mantle moves on good holds. exit left as soon as you can or continue up the slab. walk off
