Description 

Belay and start are same as for Red Venus. Belay on the slab. Climb up to the left to first bolt -which is high, but easy Class III. After first bolt, climb left to a high second bolt (also pretty easy with ledges). Crux is after the second bolt on a steep, thin slab. Use thin edges and mantles to get to and past 3rd bolt. Finish on good holds and easy ledges.

Location 

Shares start and anchors with Red Venus on the right side of the Whale. Take Whale trail north from a big pine tree at the base of the slab. Recommend a 60m rope.

Protection 

4 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.
