Description 

Can you tie your rope in a knot, can you tie it in a bow(line)? Can you throw it over your shoulder like a .... Sorry, I couldn't come up with anything else to go with the Continental theme.

This route ascends the right-facing dihedral 10ft. left of Continental Breakfast with a tree growing at the start. Work up a thin crack past several ledges. Top out on a loose ledge, and build an anchor on hand size cams. Walk 40ft. to the right on top of the ridge to rappel from the anchor above Primal Scream.

This route cleaned up nicely and climbs better than it looks. I cleaned the route as much as possible, but some small loose stuff is still scattered all over the top.


Location 

10ft. left of Continental Breakfast.


Protection 

A rack of nuts up to a hand sized cams works, with mostly around finger sized gear. The pro is good and available whenever you want it.
