Description Suggest change

This is a nice, little, sport climb just right of Velvet Elvis, Hammer of Thor, & Sunbreeze on East Ironing Board. Often its limited season is due to raptor nesting.

Find a right-angling line of 8 bolts up a cobbled face. There is a thin and balancy crux for 10b at the 3rd bolt. It is fairly sustained and harder than 1st pitch of Velvet Elvis, 10b.

Rap 70 feet.

Protection Suggest change

8 bolts (all updated in 2014), 1 bolt anchor [apparently not updated], cord on chockstone. Per Mark Roth: this route and Sunbreeze have only single bolt anchors. You can go to the anchor for Velvet Elvis via Que Rasca and rappel, but the second rappel bolts are showing some rust.
