Located about 50' left of Tangerine Dream (5.11a), a prominent orange streak of rock in the area, 35' right of Whammy (5.10a) and just left of an obvious section of drilled rock.
Climb a vertical to bulging face just left of the drill marks and then up into a clean, right-facing corner. Deft footwork and a bit of liebacking will see you through to the exit moves which lead to anchors on a sloping ledge.
A decent route that's yet another good warm-up for this area packed with quality routes.

Watch out for the loose undercling at about 1/3 height. It is possible to pass the hold with no increase in difficulty.
A nice sustained route for the grade.

A guy told me this was 5.9... He must have been thinking of a different route. I donno, I think this one is 10a/b maybe. It's definitely not 10c.

If I'm not mistaken, that undercling is now gone. There's a mark in chalk that reads 'Bad X' and underneath that, the word 'Fine' is written, perhaps where the flake used to be. Anyway, this climb was a gem. The layback about halfway up is totally pure and great fun. It's a pity it's not longer, but I definitely recommend it as a warmup!
