Description 

Located on the south face of Sargeant Rock, between School Daze (5.10a) on the left and 39 Steps (5.4) on the right and just right of a large bush.

Climb a steep slab past a bolt, passing the left side of a horizontal crack (#3 Camalot or equivalent) on your way to another bolt. The top rounds off after the last bolt and is easier. Rap off bolts atop Rock Star/School Daze.

The manky bolts on this have been replaced which makes this a far more enjoyable endeavor, but this is still best enjoyed on a cool day so the marginal smears feel a bit more secure.


Protection 

2 bolts (3/8"), gear to 3"

Found this very hard for 10 c/d, granted I was greasin' in the sun.

Horrendous, but I was there with Murf and it was hot and greasy (and I'm sticking to that story -- even if I wasn't sticking to the rock).

I'd say 11a/b is a good grade for leading this one, I've done it several times, including some cold days.
