Description
Climbs just to the left of Corrugation Corner. Start in a finger crack and pull a reachy move to the first bolt. Move up on decent holds to the spaced-out bolts. A few pieces of gear can be found along the way and are much appreciated. Rap off the bolts at the belay on Traveler's Buttress. It's about 140ft to the anchors. Bring two ropes or plan on rapping off one of the bolts down low. Kinda old school and a bit spicy for the grade. CI edit: The first two bolts were not there originally, Yikes!

Fabulous route that doesn't get done that often. I also got a really solid small nut in a keyhole horizontal placement somewhere between the second and third bolts. It was either a 4 or 5 bd stopper, I think. That and a couple cams and you're good to go.
