40m.
Re-cleaned, rebolted and straightened out a little (P. Whillance, July 2024). We thought 7a+? Two stars? (Pete and Keith).
Start 5m right of Sasquatch. Climb the slab passing two fragile quartz shields then traverse right into a faint groove. Up this (crux) and gain a thin flake ledge on the left. Step back right and continue up the groove till a move out left gains a good ledge below the bulge. Climb this on small holds then easier rock to reach the upper break by an obvious grassy bay. Move right and follow the right slanting crack to the top.
