Description 

A popular introduction to Aid climbing. This climb can also go free at 12+. Head up the bolt ladder that goes up the center of the really smooth dark slab. After about 25 feet the rock starts to overhang. From this point climb the finger tip crack up and to the left (no foot holds here). Pull through the overhang and on to a hard boulder problem finish to the top. Bolted anchor for the belay.
The route is located to the left of the Jam crack.


Protection 

Quick draws and small cams

There are actually several practice aid climbs in the vicinity, but this one is probably the best (and hardest) because it isn't all fixed gear. If new to aid climbing, or if unwilling to risk one's life aiding a thirty-foot route on manky gear that is way old, you might consider rigging a toprope back-up when practicing on these climbs.
