Description 

Hike up to Redgarder Wall as for C'est La Vie or Touch And Go, starting from the old concrete slb just SW of the Whale's Tail- make your way up to the cliff and walk left a short distance to an obvious bolted line on a flat, but broken face that overhangs slightly. This climb is on an obvious arete more or less 1/2 way between C'est La Vie and Touch and Go.

The line of bolts follows a line of sharp holds up and left to the arete, then left at the corner. These holds start large but get small, and are somewhat painful in spots. Follow said line of bolts up, then left to the arete, then around the edge and up to the top. It's kinda fun, but kinda short, and kinda sharp. Still, it should give even a strong climber a good pump.

From the top, a fixed station lies up and left.


Protection 

5 draws plus 2 slings for the anchors up above.

Shorter climbers may want to stick clipt he first bolt, but taller ones can clip it while still standing on the ramp. Climbing through the crux is thrilling as you're leaving the bolt behind you with a bit of a pump and a fall would result in a good swinger if you've passed the crux. Good sports action for the spectators.
