Description 

The line starts with good holds over a shallow flake and then onto a section of thin slab. After clipping the 3rd bolt, you'll face a runout section of dicey slab to the next bolt. You may continue to a thin mantle shortly after the 3rd bolt; a fall above this point risks ground fall. Retreating above the 3rd bolt also means reversing the mantle. The climb finishes at the anchors for the start of the second pitch of Mean Mistreater.

I am unsure why the bolt was never placed, or if it has been removed since the first FA. Squeezing II shows the runout well on the Mean Mistreater Wall Topo. A good route to avoid unless you are very comfortable with thin slab moves.

Location 

Bolt line starting to the right of Mean Mistreater.

Protection 

~5 bolts, with runout between bolts #3 and #4. Double anchors for the rap/lower.
