Description 

This is a challenging route that will reward careful inspection of all resources available! The crux comes at the beginning and creative use of counter pressure and body position will be helpful. Higher up the route is easier, but only by a letter grade or so.

Location 

This route is on the right side of the West face of Lava Dome. It can easily be located by the bolted anchor at the top. Start on the top of a big ledge to the right of Standing Ovation. This ledge is most easily reached by scrambling from the right side of the formation.

Protection 

I followed Vogel's description of this route as a TR, though when we did it there were bolts on the route (3 or 4), so unless they have been removed, it could be led. A two-bolt anchor is at the top.
