Description 

Good mixed route with sustained climbing and great exposure. Don't forget to look down as you throw the crux move over 150 feet of air. The belay is a little tricky- set it at the lip and have the second climb past it and set one higher to back clean. This will avoid BAD rope drag. Walk off.

Location 

On over-hanging wall above and to the right of the Hanging Garden

Protection 

Bolt, cam, bolt, cam, natural belay
