BETA PHOTO: Golden Child and Straight Out of Compton.


Description 

The crux is getting past the first two bolts on very overhanging rock.

Bring gear (cams) for the upper crack and rap from the Louisville Slugger anchor.

This is a great little route with power moves at the crux.


Location 

Start 5 feet right of "Louisville Slugger" and 5 feet left of "Straight Out of Compton."


Protection 

Four quickdraws and some medium to large (blue) Camalots.

Crux can by a dyno or a static move out left with a cool pinch and heel to the right in a slot. Both seem like they will be reachy for short folks though.

This has one of the better backstep-dropknee moves in the canyon.
