Description 

This is a fun route, and an obvious line. This is on the left (West) end of the south face of Campfire crag. The line is visible from quite some distance away, popping up through a roof from a well defines cave-like arch and climbing the leaning crack above. It is the second crack from the right of the group of climbs on this feature.

The bulging crux is interesting, but littered with good holds. Climb up easy rock, place a few aliens or TCU's back in cracks just before the bulge, (long slings) then clip a bolt & pop up and over into the slightly right-leaning crack. The climbing eases up after a few moves.

Protection 

A single bolt near the crux move suppliments the standard trad rack protection. Below the bolt, small TCU's and aliens are the best option.
