Just below the anchors on Metro (5.11a), Riverside...

Description 

Located on the right side of the Metro Sector with Voyeurism (5.12a) to the right and Peepshow (5.10c) to the left.

Climb large, positive holds through bulging terrain to a distinct crux just past the 5th bolt as you traverse left above the lip of a small roof. Once past the crux the angle subsides for a bit and a combination of stemming and liebacking past blocky corners and flakes through progressively steeper terrain leads to another crux between the last bolt and the anchors.

Great climbing on this route which feels a lot like climbing at Owens River Gorge in the lower portion and a little like Tangerine Dream up high. Originally done with 8 bolts, which made it a bit more "heady" to lead, but now with the addition of two more bolts it's very well protected and a must do Quarry classic for the grade.

Protection 

10 bolts, open shuts
