Description 

Start up decent rock below and a bit right of the high first bolt. Some nice edges get you off the ground to some smaller but positive edges before reaching a couple of good pockets to clip the first bolt. Juggier climbing leads past a few more bolts to a big ledge below the steep finish. Rest up and continue past two more closely-spaced bolts through some dubious rock to the bolted anchor.

Location 

This is the first route to the left of R.A.M.M.

Protection 

6 bolts to a two bolt anchor with rap rings. The first bolt is pretty high, so a stick clip could prove useful.
