Description

Route starts with committing moves to the first hanger over another pit of despair. Thin edges and slightly overhanging until reaching the mini crack after second clip. The right-facing dihedral crack considerably widens with ascent. After smearing lichen slab, lie left on large solid flake's right side, stepping right below small bush to anchors above funky Wailing Banshee groove.
