Description The start is tricky bouldering moves with the technical crux. Move up and left onto a cool, steep face with large holds.
Location Up and right along the cliff from the Sherrie's Crack walk up, beyond the Desperate Straights corner and just right of the Babble On corner.
Protection Bolts and good opportunities for gear.

| This is a sport climb (8 QD's + 2 for the anchor). Tricky bouldery thin start, but after the second clip you're pulling on easier, jug holds which seemed a-typical for the Valley. |

| I don't recall seeing any opportunities for gear on this route that would have made much sense. Most cracks were right next to bolts. I wouldn't bring any cams or nuts. |

| A fun 10a linkup would be to climb the excellent starting crack of Babble On then pull up onto the face of Boneheads before the traverse under the overhang. Bring a few cams from 2-3.5 inches for the starting crack, but the face above is well protected by bolts. |

| Crux is between the first few bolts, the rest of the route feels 5.8-5.9. |
