Description 

This route is on Atlantis Slab, pretty much near the center. There is a large block on the ground at the base that forms sort of a trough. This route begins slightly to the right. From below it is apparent by a system of thin block/flakes that make up the slab in this section.

Climb straight up, following the path of least resistance. the rock sounds a bit hollow through here when you pound on it. Straight up over a big hatchet faced flake of sorts onto a ledge. Fire straight up over several more ledges and slab climbing past a bolt, and onward to the anchor. rappel from 2 or 3 bolt anchor.

Decent route, probably one to do once, but not a destination.

Protection 

Light Platte rack, stoppers and a set of pieces to wide hands
