A strenuous climb, at the far right end of the Far East wall, on some of the best rock on the cliff. Two sets of anchors below and above the mid-way ledge allow options for climbing only the first pitch or both. 1) 5.11+ 15m Scramble carefully up a mossy rib of shattered rock to a small ledge at the base of a shallow, but distinct, right-facing corner. Stem gingerly up the corner exiting onto the main face. Trend right climbing steep rock on arm-destroying underclings and sidepulls to a pair of finger pockets. Finish onto a narrow ledge at the lower anchor (rings). If climbing pitch 2 consider crossing the mid-way ledge to the bottom anchor to the right of the deformed tree. (6 bolts - rappel ring anchor). 2) 5.11- 10m Climb the short, initial wall to a ledge and awkward flaring roof. Pass the roof gaining a square-cut arête bounding the right end of the upper tier. Follow the arête up a few strenuous moves to an easy finish to the anchor. (5 bolts - rappel ring anchor).
