Difficulty: 5.10c

Protection: G - 6 bolts, to ring anchors. You may use a small cam as chicken gear at the finish if needed. YMMV

Description: Just past the right end of the cave is a steep, bolted face and the only true sport climb at the leap. Climb the face past 3 bolts (steeper than it looks - hence the name) past easier ground to a 4th bolt. Finish on nice clean and steep face past 2 bolts (and an alien if necessary) to the anchors.

The crux start is a total reach move - so it will be easier for tall climbers with great ape indexes. If you can reach the finger pocket from the ground, it's only 10c. If you have to do a move or two to the pocket, it is probably more 11'ish.

The 4th bolt was drilled from a #2 BD micro that blew seconds after Nick finally got the bolt cranked down and clipped. Woohee!

First Free Ascent: Isa Oehry and Nick Goldsmith (two shorties) 07-02-03. Left hand finish was added 08-02-03.
