Description 

This route and the two to the left that share space on the farthest right side of the wall are nice easy routes. Straightforward climbing, good holds the whole way up.

Aisle 9 has a steep start with ledgy holds leading to easy ground on more nice ledges, with another short bulgy section right before the anchors. Start low and to the right of the first bolt for a bouldery problem to begin the route.

Location 

This route is the line of bolts furthest right on the main wall, i.e., down the ledge from the tree near the start of Fantastic Voyage.

Approach on the standard trail, but shoot up through some bushes/scree aiming for the right corner of the wall instead of bearing left to the taller routes.

Protection 

6 bolts, 2-bolt anchor w/ chains.
