Description Mixed route, pretty sandy now, a mix of potash choss and good stone. Start below the shallow corner, green camalot in a slot about 8 feet up, then clip three bolts that lead to a short wide slot with a chockstone. Move past this and up right to a 2 bolt anchor with chain.
The tufa's are on the left side of the corner. Actually they look more like those alien worms from the beginning of the X Files movie.
Location In the shallow corner between Lacto Mangulation and Banana Peel. The start is directly behind the tree.
Protection Green camalot, #4 camalot, #3 camalot and a tips piece. 3 bolts complete the pro. Anchor is 2 bolts with chain.

| Climbed this in the spring of 2009 when we did Brown Banana. Thought it was worth a bit of cleaning and some bolts, wasn't sure though.
Have heard good things. Thanks for putting in the time and money. |

| This is a nice little route. The first bolt like most in Moab is high. It would have been nice to have placed a piece of pro in the first little section instead of making a committing move to the first bolt because a ground fall would be rough. The crux is after the third bolt and requires twisting one's leg in the crack and standing up on it. |

| I didn't like this route at all. It was very sandy which made a route a little harder than it needed to be. You can protect the bottom with a #1 camalot. |
