Description 

More interesting than it looks. This route begins with two bolts below a thin crack/seam just right of the huge right-facing corner system on the main wall. Once past the bolts, work both crack systems (the corner to the left and thin seam to the right) as the opportunities for handholds and gear presents themselves. Long slings prevent any rope drag.

This pitch, while not technically difficult or hard-to-protect, offers plenty of enjoyable suspense.

A second pitch is available at 12b, but I didn't (um, can't) do it.

Protection 

2 bolts plus gear. Bring gear from small nuts/TCUs to #1 camalot. There was a pod for a #3 or #4 camalot, but a green camalot (sort of) fit in the same area. C3s went in nicely in a few places. Ends at bolt anchors.
