Description
This is the "Warm Up" for 2 other new routes on this wall, Solar Plexus, and Indescent Exposure. This is an excellent route of the same style of climbing, but on an easier scale. The cruxes are isolated and well protected. Since this wall is back in an alcove, it tends to be much more shady than the other routes on this side. I believe it gets brief AM sun.
It climbs the left-hand line up the steep buttress left of Two Pitch.
Carefully climb up and left onto ledge and find the small cam out right from stance. Continue up past 2 bolts, gear, then 2 more bolts to a 2 bolt anchor at the top. 100'
