Description:

P1: (5.10a, 30M) Start up this first pitch on some insecure moves (5.9). These are unprotected, but close to the ground. After the initial smears, the feet come back on and the hands are locker. make a mantle and clip the first bolt. Climb up and left above the roof formed by the edge of the arch for some distance, clipping bolts and pins along the way to a fixed belay station (chains), even with the apex of the roof.

P2: (5.10c, 32M) start up above this belay on the obvious line of pins and bolts. the line goes up a few moves over the belay to reach the first clip, so be mindful not to fall on your belayer. Pass some poor rock and a little runout (2" cam may help) to reach a slightly crumbly section just below a pod and roof. Pull up and left into the pod and clip a pin around the corner to the left. Pull left onto the face (10c) and follow a line of drilled angles up and left past multiple 5.10 cruxes to reach an fixed belay anchor (chains).

P3: (5.10c, 25M) From the belay work up and right on a ramp to make some relatively easy moves (5.8, runout) to reach the first clip, perhaps 5M up. Do NOT fall before the first clip. Continue up and right to a smooth crux (10c) off of a small undercling before reaching "thank god" holds in the black Patina. Continue upwards and slightly left though an odd mantle (5.9, mental) and then up a face to reach a hidden belay (chains) below the black overhang. This is just left of a single visible bolt of the 4th pitch.

P4a: (5.9+, 30M) From the 3rd belay work up and right past a single bolt (long sling) to reach a crack system. The black patina is hard, but crisp-edged and might fracture away without careful placement of protection. Be mindful that the rope is now turning a sharp corner and might be damaged or cut in an severe or unlucky fall. Work up the crack with plentiful but somewhat tricky pro (offset nuts would have been nice) for perhaps 30M to a fixed anchor (chains) on the left. Keep an eye out or miss it.
