Description:

Dihedral crack to a strenuous offwidth/layback (#4.5 or #5 camalot useful) to an exposed step-across and then big jugs. A classic which can be done in one pitch with a 70M (maybe a 60M too). Excellent way to finish a day that finds you rapping off the Sorceror into the notch, and thus avoid some of the hike back out!

5 out of 5 stars both finishes

Both are great. Do the left one if you only have time for one. The fist section is the crux.

5 out of 5 stars Ascent note

Can hike to the top, lower your buddy off to climb. Nice fingers on first pitch, OW is bout 25ft., wild stuff to yard on the last pitch.
