Im working the 12 ...Just left at right facing dihedral New tenD goes left here then straight up thru two new bolts Another good one mostly trad only the two bolts . Once took fall w/o bolts OUCH decided to remove old piton above route . Natural trad gear can go there now. Difficult 5.9 goes over roof to finish just left of 10d another worthy MINI D climb

This is a great place to relax and climb hard
