Description 

This route lies at the east end of brown cloud, just as the cliffs turn the corner. Start up a crack, then move left at a ledge and follow the 3 bolts up. The face moves are committing. Have fun!


Protection 

3 bolts to a 2 hanger anchor. Stick clipping the first bolt would be a good idea.

This first bolt is still missing.

I thought this climb was a little harder than Deck Chairs. The climb is short but seems like solid 10.

Not a warm-up 9. I thought it was a solid 10. The holds are crimpy and shallow.

Thank you, Michael, for putting this one on the Web.

We pulled the funky open hook anchor, drilled new 1/2" anchors (with hooks), and replaced the #2 spinner today. Mark Rolofson replaced the missing fourth bolt after this route was posted. A stopper can protect a direct start.

Clipping the third bolt is a bit tenuous, followed by some crimps to easier ground...feels like a 10-.
