Description 

Crux is before and just past the high first bolt that requires a few 5.10+ face moves. The rest of the route is sustained; most hand features are small, side-pull crimps and feet are mostly smears on small, slopey bulges on low angle face.

Move past 3 bolts, then be careful when doing final tricky moves (with your feet 3-4 feet above last bolt). Last 10+ feet after that are runout, but on easy and low angle, 5.7 terrain.



Location 

On Sugar Bun formation (on the mossy side) - To the right of Dirty Dog, route runs next to the arete of the formation.


Protection 

3 bolts to bolted anchor

Final moves are a bit too far past the last bolt for comfort. Scary top out! Why isn't there a fourth bolt.

Because the route was put in ground up on lead and the FA felt the climbing above was too easy to justify a bolt... Which I agree with.

Route has a potential of ground fall or sprained ankle. It is very short three bolt slab. There should be one more bolt protecting the mantle b/c the rock is very polished at that spot. Putting one more bolt at that point is convenient to clip, safer and doesn't take away from the aesthetics of the route.
