Description 

Pitch 1 (5.6)
Climb up a loose, low-angle water chute to a ledge with a bolted anchor.

Pitch 2(5.10a)
Climb up over a steep bulge and then follow the low-angle face to the left-hand of 2 water shoots. A short, steeper crux section leads up the water chute to the anchor. If you stray onto bigger holds on either side of the water streak, the rock quality diminishes significantly.

Make 2 rappels with a single 60m rope.

Location 

The second obvious water chute encountered when hiking in--just past the apron of rock that sticks out at the base of Golden Years.

Protection 

8 bolts per pitch, plus a 2-bolt anchor atop each pitch
