Description This is a fantastic and overlooked climb. Up the unprotected easy slab and throuh a left-facing corner system at about 5.5. Then step right onto the headwall to clip the first of four bolts. Some of the best slab climbing in the park through these four bolts on knobby feldspar and perfect friction. Gain the ledge and bolted rap station.
Location Starts on the perched ledge immediately left of Easier Than It Looks. Ascend the right-facing corner to get up to it. Or just climb from the ground. Two ropes to rap.
Protection Gear to #1 C4 and four bolts.

| A Great route well worth a visit. The slab climbing up high is reminiscent of Tuolumne and makes you wish it went on for another 100'!
From the Anchors it's 40m down to the ledge directly below. Scramble down off the ledge (climbers left) to get back to the base area below MOTB. |
