Description 

Start up the steep slab which eases up after the second bolt, then follow the crack through two overhanging bulges using hand/fist jams and some awkward feet (crux). The anchor is a few feet left of the crack after an easy face move or two.

Watch out for rodent droppings on the ledge above the second bulge. The inside of the crack is pretty abrasive; consider taping up.

Location 

This is the right of two bolted lines between R.A.M.M. and Richter Scale.

Protection 

6 or 7 bolts (?) to a two-bolt anchor. It can also be led on gear (I used a green C3, a medium stopper, and a few cams in the 0.5-#3" range).
