As you follow up the main canyon trail, two drainages will be passed on the right. Just after the second, and just off the trail is a clean slab with a tricky start. This little gem has a series of sharp edges and shallow pockets and makes a nice warm-up for the finger tweakers in the canyon. It is a bit run-out for 5.10.
This a great route. It starts with easy climbing to a fun-awkward-balancy mantle, then finishes on a good slab. The climb seems a bit stiff for the grade.
Nice route. But I wouldn't call it "stiff for the grade," or 5.9+, or 10b. If What the Hey is 9+ and Bucket Slave is 10b, then this climb strikes me as right in between: 10a.
