Description 

You'll find this route on the southwest corner of the Uncle Remus Block facing towards the Aguille De Joshua Tree.

Climb good edges past two bolts (crux), then grab a huge brown flake and make some committing moves manteling the flake to reach the third and last bolt. Easy moves lead to the top and a bolted anchor.

This is a fun route similar in character and difficulty to those found at The Love Nest. Well worth a spin if in the area and three stars out of five.


Protection 

3 bolts (3/8"), 2 bolt anchor/rap (1/2")

Airy going for the last bolt. You can sling the mantel edge before the move, but you might be best served by just going for it.

It's a little spicy making the mantle but the crux is past and the moves are much easier. I recall hearing you could sling the large flake but it looked like it had broken and it didn't seem worth hanging out trying to get the sling on - much easier to keep climbing!
