Description:

Beautiful steep slab climbing up a thin face. Begins at the start for Silver Spoons, wanders left, skirting the top of the gulley to the first bolt (45' up). From here go directly left and up, to avoid the 99% PURE variant (5.11c)at the second piton move left about 15 feet then start to move up again to third piton. Then it is a traverse right to the next 2 bolts. After that it is up to the Top anchors. Rap from top w/ 60m rope into the gulley. There is a second pitch for this route. It is also a 5.10. The rock is loose and brittle. You can not see the top anchors from below but they are there. This Pitch is not recommended but it is there.
