Description 

This route starts with the beginning of Just Say No 5.9-. Clip the first bolt on that route and head right. Calderone's guidebook shows 3 bolts on the lower face. I only remember clipping 2 bolts. You are looking at a 40 foot gound fall before the 2nd bolt. Maybe I missed a bolt.

The run out climbing is on positive holds, stay strong. The upper roof is staight forward and gear is had after pulling the roof. Load up on gear and run it out another 30ft to the anchor.

A good runout test piece for the moderate leader.


Protection 

Draws, nuts (big ones), and medium cams

Keep your mind open to the possibilities of slinging "horns."

Runout to the first bolt. One of the best routes at its grade in the City, IMHO. If you wanted pro, you could lead to the first bolt or three on Just Say No, then come down, and climb up to the first bolt on the route with another lead rope. Four stars.

Straightforward climbing, on positive holds.
