Description:

Variations to Portaledge, don't have to belay on road. Instead of belaying on road, scramble up kitty litter to the big tree. Climb the arete/thin cracks/slab up and left past bolts and pins to join Portaledge. At the top of the second pitch, instead of climbing up the left-leaning crack, face climb up and right past 3 bolts (5.8). Two bolted anchors allow rap with one 60m down right to the start tree.
