Description 

This route wanders up slabby shallow grooves past six bolts then follows a sleazy crease that terminates on the Retable Route. Set a belay and follow Retable Route to the summit. The route has neat moves and a great position.

Dave Larsen & Eric Rhicard drilled the six bolts in 1982. Eric was back in the area in 1983 and recruited me as his belayer to finish the route. The gear Eric placed in the shallow crease was not real inspiring

Modern cams and tricams might make this route a more reasonable outing. Eric was climing spot on the day he sent this.

Location 

The start to this route is left of The Rustlers and right of the chimney start for Retable Route. There is a wavy shallow groove for the first 60' or so with an obvious seam/crease above.

Protection 

Six 1/4" bolts, Small to medium cams, Small to medium tricams, Stoppers, RP's, and a hand sized piece or two.
