Description:

The next route right of monkey-Giraffe. Move a little left from the belay to gain a small grassy ledge with a bush. Continue straight up from behind the bush, follow the bolts slightly right around a block then traverse to the left side of the nose. Pull off some interesting moves to make the last bolt then out ontl the arete of the nose to finish.

Flash Flash ascent by: sbaclimber on 2005-06-19 (View Climbing Log)

0 out of 5 stars Ascent Note

ok, so it wasn't technically a flash. I tried following Gary's lead, and it totally freaked me out. (kudos to Gary, for knarly onsight!!!). I hung to come back down, and then saw the 'proper' way up.... all I can say is take the direct route up the face between the 3rd and 4th bolts! a good route that could do without the vegitation!
