Description 

Just right of Slacker (5.10c) and 25' left of Nowhere To Go But Down (5.11d) is this climb up a smooth face with a greenish tinge.

A short, kinda grainy left-facing corner leads to a ledge below a smooth face with green lichen. Clip a high bolt and make a fingery traverse left with technical feet to a good edge and a break below a small roof. Undercling out right and weave your way along the upper face on sloping ledges.

Enjoyable moves on this varied and technical outing.

Protection 

6 bolts, chain anchors
