Description 

From the guidebook: pleasant 40-foot pitch on the far right side of the slab. 3 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.

Other notes: Route #2 in guidebook. Route length is my approximation - use your own judgment. Moves just below the first bolt seem to be the most difficult.


Location 

Immediately to the right of the first group of trees that you see in front of the slab as you approach it from the North. The route behind the trees is Helios (5.8), right of Helios is El Sol and right of El Sol is Frigga (5.7).


Protection 

3 bolts plus a 2-bolt anchor.

The nice looking shelf I have my hands on is a little treacherous, holds a lot of dirt, and catches more constantly from the wind. Right before the anchor.

Climbed today with Dave G. and Dan. Challenging crux getting past 1st bolt -- pretty much just feet and friction there. Felt like 5.7 to me. Short but fun climb.
