Description 

Almost always wet but for a short window of time in the late summer early fall this is quite a fun climb...Due to the wetness it can be a bit vegetated when it hasn't seen much action in a while... In the winter it is a really cool ice climb called Franky Lee...

Follow flakes using a bunch of layback moves with nice jugs between... Good footwork will pay off if this route is at your limit... If it was always dry I'd give it another star for sure...

Apparently when Jim bolted this line he had ice in mind as much as rock...


Location 

Left of Rea Sea Pedestrian (5.10b)... the route follows big flakes up a typically wet (sometimes a waterfall) section of rock...


Protection 

8 bolts to anchor...

I've only ever done this climb when it is dry, and it is great for sure, but truly what Lee said this climb isn't frequently dry, how unfortunate.

Jeff,

Jim is Hebrew and Moses (a Hebrew) parted and walked across the Red Sea while running away from an army, he let the sea collapse on his suitors killing them, this resulted in the neighboring route named Red Sea Pedestrian and I think this is just a play on words of his...

I will ask him sometime what it means if anything special
