Description 

A superb slab route, one of my favorites at Tollhouse. The first pitch is the crux with 5.9 thin edges and smearing. Fun climbing that keeps your attention. This pitch is followed by a pitch of 5.6 and then a pitch of 5.7 before running into the right facing dihedral that is the culmination of other routes such as the Traverse.


Location 

Located less than 100 ft. climbers left of Elephant Walk. This climb starts on one of the lowest points of the face and takes a direct line up the face below the Tollhouse Traverse.


Protection 

Draws and a light rack.

Outstanding climb. Tons of fun. Most of the time, you get to trust your feet on nothing.
