Description 

Start on the arete and pull gleefully straight up until it is clear to trend left (bolt 3) along a left trending seam that turns vertical. If you have tugged through this section and feel like patting yourself on the back (it is kinda hard up to this point), you may want to consider benching your patting hand until you have dispensed with the next 20'.... I thought the crux was the series of moves from the 4th bolt to the 5th. really, really fun climbing!!! Bolted perfectly...the only way this could get another star is if it were 500' longer!!!

Location 

Directly atop the tiered walk around (toward the upper end of the cliff proper) locate a BEAUTIFUL green face. This route is just a couple routes past the striking and obvious arete of Yellowjacket (open project!!!).

Protection 

6 bolts to chain anchors.
