Description:

This route becomes more interesting in hindsight. A stellar 5.9 second pitch. Scramble out right on a ledge from the Moby Dick gully. There's two bolts at the P1 crux you'll see 15 feet up. Crank this hard move past the bolt, then cruise up for a belay on a nest of chickenheads below a great corner. Climb the corner (tiny nuts) then traverse right and up into the steep corner/ramp which will, with a tough face move, lead to a prominent dike and a belay. Climb up the easy runout face to a camalot pod (whew!) and bust out right to another dike and the top.
