Tricky and committing moves down low (take small wires) lead into a large pea-pod with 3 bolts. Stem up the pod and climb the thin face crack above to the old anchor (more small wires and a cam or two). After admiring the old anchor, continue up the wall above on pockets and knobs, past 3 more bolts. A full value pitch with a little bit of everything. Extension added in 2024.
