Description 

To find this route, hike into the Gallery Canyon and head up to Menses' Prow. Hike left (west) just past the California Ethics pinnacle. Behind the pinnacle is a lovely hand crack/chimney with guano. To the left of it is a bolted route that starts below a nice looking flake.

Ascend through pleasant technical, but not too difficult moves. After you have passed the flake the climbing will ease up for a bit. However, be sure to save yourself for the end.

Good route.


Protection 

Van Horn says 4 bolts and gives it an "s" rating. However, my notes say 8 bolts (and it really isn't scary, trust me, I'm a wuss).

My mistake on the grade. It should be 5.11c.

Great climb with the crux at the last bolt.This climb is way harder then 5.11c.I've done 5.12a that are much easer.

Good quality - first hanger needs replacing.

Meh, first hanger is a home-made red angle-iron type and looks bomber as hell, but maybe that's just me.
