Description 

This route is easily identifiable as it is just left of the large orange stain on the wall. The start is protected by 1 bolt then takes small-to-medium-size gear, passing 1 more bolt at a small dihedral. Easy climbing from there will gain the anchors.


Location 

4th route on left from start of wall. Located between the routes "One Green Spot" (Orange stain) and "The Quick One".


Protection 

2 bolts, medium nuts, small to 2" cams - chain anchors

This route protected well with medium nuts and a yellow link cam in a pod higher maybe 2" size.

I didn't find it any more difficult than the route directly left "The Quick One" which is rated .10-

Gear to .5" worked well for me. In my opinion, this is the best climb on the left half (before Duh Bulge).
