Description This is a new route that climbs easy ledges (it's like stairs!) to a high first bolt. From there, it's a little bit more face climbing to the overhanging fist crack above. The route has been cleaned well, but we still found some loose rock on it. It even has its own placard, with the name of the route, grade, and "3/08" written on the piece of rock in true desert style.
Location This lies between Gabby and the start of Muscle Beach.
Protection 8 shiny new bolts plus two for the anchors.

| Steep with a lot of serious crack climbing. I thought this was a great line! Really fun. |

| Gotta agree with Bill on this one -- my wife and I both thought this was really a fun line, with a nice crux to jam a couple bolts from the anchors. |

| Fun. Only a couple crack moves. More 5.9 IMO. Good warmup route. |
