Description 

Really nice route on great stone, my only complaint is that it should be twice as long!

Start on easy ground, gets 5.10ish towards the middle, and finishes with a thin cranker crux in the dihedral up high.

Probably only a couple of genuine 5.11 moves on this, but the position and high stone quality certainly qualify it for 3 stars.

Location 

The first route encountered when approaching, on the far right side of the wall.

Protection 

5 or 6 bolts to anchors at 45 feet
