This climb has an amazing setting overlooking the Owens River Gorge

The climb is rated at a v1 and is pretty solid at that grade.

Luckily the climb has a rock at its base so it gives you the needed inspiration to not fall.

The climbing is on perfect small crimps and pockets in the volcanic tuft. The rock on the climb is surprisingly smooth thanks to water polishing.

The Crux involves stepping up on a bad foot with a bad left hand pull and moving to a perfect half hand pocket.

There is a hidden pull on the lip that took a little while to find.

Looking down at an amazing climb. I give it 5 stars and would recommend it to anyone climbing in the Bishop area if they can find it.
