Description 

The route is located on the south face of the Slabbo. It is the 3rd route from the left. From the ground it looks to have bomber jams. Once you start climbing you will see that the crack is very shallow and flared. If you look hard you can find good pro with micro cams. The crack started to feel insecure about 20 to 30 feet up but I was able to find good face/friction holds (crux). Once you have made it through the crux it is easy climbing to the top.

Location 

This route is located on The Slabbo. Park at the gate on county road 126 and forest service road 538. Mountain bike about 4 miles, when you see the old slashed in road go straight up the hill following a faint trail. The rock is about .25 miles up the trail on the right. All climbs on this rock are walk offs

Protection 

Micro to medium cams
