Description 

Short and steep on solid rock with movement that is interesting for The Tunnel. If you're sick of lock-off high-steps, you can find a little variety here. Jugs to the first bolt and pretty sustained difficulty to the finish, this is the perfect boulderer's route - felt like V0 to V6 to V5 to me.

Start on jugs for a few moves to the first bolt. (You may want to stick clip just in case you blow but if you feel up to a climb like this, you shouldn't have any difficulty clipping it as you go.) Double gastons and a few good pinches lead up and right to the second bolt. Go up to a couple of large ok slopers and work over into a short right facing rail. From here you hit a couple of good jugs and clip the third bolt. A similar sequence above this bolt to a committing move to the juggy seam above leads to the chains.
