Description 

Climb the left side of the leftmost section of bolts on the south wall. The right side of these bolts is called Dam It (5.11b).

This route feels like being in a gym. There are a bunch of pockets and other solid holds up this face route, and the crux is getting yourself to the first bolt. This route is pretty sustained, though the route itself is quite enjoyable.

The top section is a little scary traversing to the right over to the anchors.


Protection 

4 bolts to a 2 bolt top anchor. You can set up a top rope on the bolts by walking around the top of the Gorge over to the bolts.
