Description 

Fun climbing, a brief but hard to figure out slab crux leads to a juggy head wall.

The rock on the first 25 feet isn't the best, but the climbing is good and pretty easy in this section. There is a bolt right there at the crux where a couple of good horizontal hand holds are frustratingly out of reach just when the foot holds disappear. A novel approach will make the crux 5.10c, don't get stumped.

Location 

Bolted slab climb just right of Holocaust. Morning sun.

Protection 

8 bolts to chains, it is a little bit runout past the 8th bolt, but the holds are huge jugs, just stay cool. A TCU or small cam could be placed here too.
