Description 

This is a super-fun, easy, fairly long, frictiony face, with a great position in the canyon. A hard start can be bypassed on the right.

This is Route #19 in D'Antonio (1999:36). I have been told that the name of the route is mis-spelled in the guide book (but let me know if that is not the case and I'll change it here).


Location 

From the roadside parking, this route is on a buttress on the right about 100 yards up the canyon. It ascends the nose of the buttress, just right of The Bottom Line, and one could probably go past the Geritol chains to set a toprope on The Bottom Line as well.


Protection 

Six bolts to a 2-bolt anchor with chains.
