Description The route, appropriately enough, starts with a mantle (which can be harder than necessary if you miss the sequence).

| Great fun, and a good warmup. My girlfriend at 5'0" only had trouble on the top mantle. Enjoy! |

| Top mantle before the slab was the hardest. I didn't know the sequence so I just heel hooked up it. |

| Didn't love it, but as the only climb really of its grade in slab city it is not bad. Didnt flow very well IMO though. |
