Description 

This is the second of 3 bolted routes on the face to the right of the wide crack and the large boulder where the approach trail meets Cactus Rose Wall. It is between "The Needle Lies" and "John Wayne Never Wore Boxer Shorts". I think it's pretty clear that these routes will feel a bit sandbagged to the normal 10a climber at Shelf, so don't expect an easy warmup. Thin technical moves, sustained climbing, and relatively minimal bolt placements are the name of the game for most routes on this wall.

Protection 

4 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.
