Another outstanding City mixed line. Predominantly a bit overhanging, this route follows an awesome 5.10ish crack spotted with faceholds to quartz dike & a traverse left to a bolt (crux). Head up the easy slab to a horizontal & build a belay with finger-sized pieces.
Location
The route is on the west side. Look for the awesome finger crack leading to a quartz dike with a bolt.
Protection
The crack eats finger-sized gear (TCUs and Stoppers). One bolt. Downclimb third class slab to the main descent chains for King on the Throne.
crux is clipping the bolt. climbing eases above thre bolt. great route with neat features.

Pretty Cool Route. The first move is unusual, like one of those trick boulder problems you try in the gym. I agree that clipping the bolt is tricky, I would say moving past it is the crux.

There are not too many routes that have a jump start followed by a knee bar. This is a very fun route with good gear. If you are tall, the crux moves are over before you clip the bolt.
