Description 

Excellent face climbing with a distinct crux at the 6th bolt. This route is not as sustained as Ranger Ron. The crux is very well protected, but there are sometimes 5.6 moves 10 feet above the last bolt.


Location 

Steps off the middle of a boulder, just left of Ranger Ron. See photo


Protection 

10 bolts, 2 bolt anchor with rappel chains

Use a #1 TCU in a horizontal to plug a strange run-out mid-way up the route

Like Ranger Ron, several of the bolts on this route were under drilled, leaving bolts that protrude from the holes and hangers that do not touch the wall.
