Start on the wide but exposed ledge just left of the Darkhorse. Belayer may want to stand below the ledge, on the trail. Start up the easy corner on the left, then step onto and crank up the steep face on the right past 3 bolts to a good stance at a thin crack. Clip a bonus bolt (not present for the FA), then make powerful moves in the thin crack (crux). Follow the thin crack as it arcs rightward to a good stance below a smooth bulge. Clip the hard-to-see bolt out left on the bulge (the bolt up and right is the crux bolt on The Darkhorse), then power directly over this last bolt in an exciting sequence to reach a stance below a small roof. Step right to follow a thin crack, but good jugs, leading up to an anchor below a looming fir tree.

The Darkhorse

Start up the dark left-facing corner just to the right of The Darkhorse, make steep but juggy moves to a stance above the corner. Continue up a cleaner and nicer corner above to reach the first of three bolts.  Commit to the steep face on the left and make a looong reach to hidden jugs above the roof. A confusing and physical mantle guards the chains and may prove to be the true crux.

Boulder up the steep but juggy face just left of "Tunnel Vision" to reach a high first bolt. Stem past another bolt to a ledge, then use natural protection to continue straight up through some ledges, some in-cut holds, and a thin seam. Clip a mercy bolt on a perma draw when the seam peters out, then traverse left onto stacked blocks below a roof. Crank through the roof on its left side, then follow hand crack to anchor.
