Cushions from the base of the climb

Description 

A series of moves up a crack system. Odd rock formation, do a move, rest on the large ledge, do another move, rest on the next big ledge, repeat. Climb is easily protectable with nuts and cams, every bolt is within inches of a great placement.

Crux comes at the top (second to last bolt), the crack is difficult, but if you reach around you can find some good crimps off to the side to work with.

Location 

Located on the ledge above Tennis Ball, walk up like you would walk up to set up the top-ropes, but then climb the series of cracks going up.

Protection 

6 bolts (including the anchor chain at the bottom) and 2 anchors/chains at the top. Can also be done with a standard small-medium trad rack.
