[Reservoir Area., 3 kb]Climb the corner groove in the front face of the prow, to a capping scoop. Pull through carefully, to a tree. Climb the corner directly behind this to a roof and pull through on hidden holds. Reach the large sit down ledge. For the second pitch start at the left end of the ledge and traverse immediately to the right to enter with difficulty a groove. Delicate climbing leads to a huge hanging flake, from which one can climb to a ledge on the right and then to the top, or at E2 directly up the hanging groove.
