Description 

This route lies on the formation just left of Coarse And Buggy (5.11a) and takes a direct line up a smooth looking face just right of a promient left-arching crack system.

Enjoyable moves on smooth grey rock characterize this route with the difficult crux coming near the top, where one will encounter a perfect two-finger pocket (all natural). These pockets form on rare occasion, and it's the odd route which features one (see Elephant Walk for another example). Bolted anchor/rap.

Well-protected climbing up a steep slab/face within staggering distance of your vehicle make this an obvious choice, yet it rarely sees any action. Two stars out of five.


Protection 

5 bolts, FP, bolted anchor/rap
