Description 

Climb large edges to a single bolt (3/8") about 20' off the ground, pull the crux and then wander upwards to a ledge where you can get some gear (1.5") before underclinging left along a gaping flake - this is where Switchbacks comes in from the left - continue up that route to it's belay under a small arch.

Fun climbing but it's a little heads up with the bolt being so high, although a micro cam might just fit below the bolt (a #0 Metolius tcu was too big).


Location 

Center of Flintstone Slab, about 50' right of Fred.


Protection 

bolt, gear to 3"
