Description 

This route climbs the obvious right-facing corner left of Bacon Taco (5.10a) via stemming, liebacking and even some face moves and goes at a much easier grade than inital appearances might suggest.

The route was orginally done without any bolts and by climbing the crack without stemming (5.11 but contrived). Years later the line was bolted by climbers thinking they were doing the FA and with the discovery that a little stemming lowers the grade has become a semi-popular route in the area.


Location 

Right side of the West Face and a short ways left of Bacon Taco.


Protection 

4 bolts, chains
