Description
Fun bouldery route with 2 distinct cruxes. Pull the initial bulge onto a ledge, followed by two bolts of easier climbing. Start up the second crux, making a tenuous 4th clip, and continuing up on small holds.
After the fifth bolt is 35' of unprotected 5.6 climbing on suspect rock. Options for dubious slung knobs exist, but be prepared mentally for the final run up to the anchors. The anchors can't be seen until you're a few feet away, but trend slightly right and you'll find them beneath a bulge.
