Description This is located on 'The Chicken Wall' of the 'Clock Tower'. Locate this route by walking uphill (left) to a face just right of a dirty corner groove system with 4 bolts on it. (1 more over lip). Climb the steep slab with small crimpers, keeping the feet out of the corner to the left. It is a great line although very short. It is a little overgraded in the guide, it is perhaps 11a/b at most.
Protection 5 bolts - 2 bolt anchor.

| On the downside, this route has some rather sharp holds. On the upside, it has some fun balancy moves. |

| This would be a good route if it was a little longer. Still, better than some of the other routes on this section of rock. |

| I'm with Dr. Evil on this one. Sharp! But overall fun with a crux around bolts 2 - 4.
Also, I made the crux moves before (attempting to) clip bolt 3, and got to the first good hold up and left of the third bolt. I was clipping from roughly waist height when I slipped and took a totally clean fall. (And I outweighed by belayer by about 70 lbs.) I think if you fell trying to clip the third bolt from the lower, worse holds, you might not take such a clean fall. |

| A good climb with a short crux. It's relatively easy getting the clips on bolts 1 and 2, so if you are into hangdogging the crux (not that I'd ever do such a thing), then you are totally safe. Yep, sharp holds. |

| Almost had flash. No send but one hang. Thought it quite good and I look forward to a single push next I'm there. Yes, short but good moment is just good movement. Worth the effort. |
