Description 

One of the more moderate outings at the Perch, with 3 shorts sections of easy 5.10. The "5.9+" traverse starting p5 is not well protected for the follower unless some gear is left in the corner for a backrope belay.

For the best beta, see Brad Brandewie's photo trip report.

Location 

On the West face, left of the Mountaineer's Route. Standard descent from the top, down the gully on the right side of the wall.

Protection 

Extra wired nuts for p1.
