Description 

This route begins just left of Greehorn Dihedral on a protruding narrow rectangular block. Climb past three bolts using edges on the face as well as the arete on both sides of the block to a small roof. Ascend the roof into a thin crack that ends on a ledge. The rock is somewhat grainy to the roof but solid once the thin crack is reached. Two out of five stars.


Protection 

Mostly small/ medium TCU's, cams, and stoppers plus quick draws for three 1/4" bolts and one piton. An anchor can be set up where the route converges with "Greenhorn Dihedral."

Gear Alert

The route was somewhat loose and dirty throughout. The move off the deck was a little exposed. The section past the third bolt and before the roof is somewhat spooky given the rock and bolt quality. But with more traffic and better bolts, this could be a fun route.
