Description 

This is the right hand route on the QOB pinnacle. The first bolt is 20ft up and can't be clipped until you do a mid 5.10 move. You can place a #1 Camalot in a pocket to the left.

There is some interesting movement, but there are number of awkward and sharp sections. The crux is near the top using arete pinches and side pulls with bad feet.


Location 

The right hand route on the QOB pinnacle.


Protection 

4-5 bolts, optional #1 Camalot.

Technical with multiple cruxes. Don't blow the difficult first clip, the fall would suck.

Sitting on top of this pinnacle is a great place to take pics of people on Lumina and the "pork" routes.
