Description To the right of the waterfall, in front of a large vandalized boulder are 2 bolted routes. This is the right route. Climb up the small crack to the ledge, clip the bolt and make your move. The difficulty eases a bit the rest of the way.
Protection 2 bolts at the top for an anchor, and 3 draws for the climb. There are 2 different anchors now, one above the climb to the right (Fleeting Glimpse), and one on the next ledge up, but in a better line for this climb. Recommend using the higher anchors.

| The moves past the first bolt are hard 5.9 and considerably harder than anything on Hard Knocks. After that 5.7 seems a reasonable grade. The bolt protects the hard part well though. |

| Nathan, I think you mean ``...this is the left route.'' |

| I did these routes Sept. 11, 2007 and the higher anchor is now gone. |

| One move wonder on river polished granite, slightly easier than its neighbor to the right, probably mid 5.8. Kinda runout getting to the 2nd bolt, you could fiddle in a micro in the undercling but it won't do you much good if you fall. |

| I like this route. it was a very fun introduction to little cottonwood slab climbing. |
