Description 

This is the bolted face route to the right of Punderdal. This part of the rock is festooned with brown spots of good rock, of which this line rides the middle of, leading left a very dense area of brown (some loose in this area) midway up. Fun route, well protected.

Great warm up route on the rock. a little runout in places, but par for the course at this crag. Liked it much better that some of the central routes, less people around you and WAY less slippery
