Description 

Fourth route from the left. Tied for best Riviera route with Topless Etiquette. This climb ascends a steep black-streaked slab with sustained, fun moves. I thought it was somewhat more difficult than Rossiter did, making me suspect that he got the ratings on this route and Silver Glide reversed or something. Very fun.

6 bolts, 2 bolt anchor.

Disagree. 11a seemed right. Make sure it is dry. A foot route. 2nd best on the crag after Le Nouveau Riche. Easier than Silver Glide.

Maybe I suck at footwork, but this seemed hard for an .11a to me. Maybe I was tired 'cause I'd just climbed Silver Glide.

I don't think the moves were any harder than 11a, there were just a lot of tricky moves for such a short climb.

Felt 10c to me. Safe and fun.
