Description This whole thing seems cruxy! A delicate bolt-protected slab/dihedral, one is glad there are many bolts!
Location This is the first bolted route on the North (right) side after the rock-scramble to gain the Dr's Office proper.
Protection 10 bolts, chain anchors

| My first impression was too many bolts. My second was THANK YOU FOR THIS NEXT BOLT! A fun, technical (if sandy) climb. |

| Come on Greg...I've been fighting grade creep for some time but .10-?? Be serious. If your new pal was a budding 10 climber how well do you think they would do on this route. Granted, it's well protected but the moves up the slab are pretty technical.
Maybe I should do it again, but I too was pretty thankful when I was able to just clip it up and go. Screeching down that slab didn't look to enticing. |

| I always felt this was 5.9 at the most. |

| Classy route. We climbed it in the rain. Harder than 5.9 but our friend climbed it, it was her second climb ever. |

| Definitely some of the cleanest moderate rock at the Office. |
