Description

P.1 – (5.8) Scramble up past a high first bolt on the face left of the corner that splits the Cove. Make a few punchy moves below the roof and traverse your way out along a left trending crack to exit the Cove. Pull crimps up and right on the slab above to gain a comfortable ledge. 11 bolts to two bolt anchor. 100 feet

P.2 – (5.10c) Step right from the belay and stem off a ramp to clip a high first bolt. The face climbing gets increasingly harder as the holds get increasingly smaller. 10 bolts to a lower off anchor below the headwall. 80 feet

You can lower off here or venture onward to the Presidential Finish (5.12a). Link the extension as one long pitch to avoid an uncomfortable belay. Make your way onto the headwall with a generous horizontal crack leading to powerful and crimpy moves above. 3 bolts to lower off anchor. 20 feet.

A 60 meter rap will get you from the top of the extension to the P.1 ledge and another will get you to the base of the route.
