Description 

A short climb on rough quartzite, similar to its neighbor to the left, but slightly harder.

Low angled for the first 10 feet or so, then fairly steep to the anchors. Positive edges for hands and feet for the most part, although a couple of sidepulls are helpful.

Location 

The right bolted route on "The Pinkie", which is a triangular structure to the left of the main Ed and Terry Wall. Approach as for Ed and Terry Wall.

Protection 

2 bolts and a micro cam to cold shut anchors (shared with route to left). Anchors are easily accessible from the top. There apparently used to be a pin between the two bolts but the pin is AWOL. I used a #1 Camalot C3.
