Continue up and left on easier ground to a fixed nut-and-piton belay where the wall steepens. Start up the left-facing corner above the belay passing a bolt, then move into a groove on the left until the angle eases.
Continue past a ledge to a higher stance and a 2-bolt belay. Climb the bulge above the belay and either move left into a right facing corner or climb better rock just to the right. Climb the rib directly above the belay passing a bolt to ledges and a 2-bolt belay. Continue 50m past the buttress crest to a smaller rib with a steep drop-off on the other side. Bring gear to 3' including a good selection of thin pitons and doubles of small to medium cams.Īpproach as for Ha Ling and continue east across the Rice Bowl, the scree/slab bowl between Ha Ling and Miner's Peak, on low-angled slabs, staying high and aiming for the point on the NE buttress of Miners Peak where the ridge steepens beyond scrambling.
