Description:
(5.11b / 50ft / 3 bolts, gear .5in to 2.5in, natural belay) Climb the interesting, inset “V”-notch corner system, left of the main buttress. This is an excellent route, on par with the 5.11’s on Lost Dome. It starts trad (textbook nuts), and ends trad, with a trio of bolts in the middle. This route would be super burly, if not for the periodic come-to-the-rescue face holds that seem to appear just when you need them most.

whew!
wears me out just to remember it -
after just "old dog" as a warm-up I only got to the 3rd bolt first try, working out the sequences up to there was a "spendy" business, I lowered to let X have a shot while it was still shady. Must have remembered something, since I at least got up it (still with some hangs, though) on the 2nd try, in the sun.

Onsight ascent by:
aid climb
Practiced clean aid up this route. Dan F'ed up his finger somehow half way up and I topped it out. Some placements were just a bit tricky, but it was one of my first aids. Fun!
