Description 

Another nice technical route steeper than it looked from the ground and a bit pumpy....
A weird but fun crux half way up on underclings and weird feet.... Very interesting moves and fun once you figure it out....
Another slabby part at the top made me think for a second before gaining the anchor....

Recommended if you like techy stuff....


Location 

Just left of Cow Patty (5.10a).


Protection 

It seems this route has had bolts added...I counted 8, but the guide says 5 with the option of a TCU between the 2nd and 3rd bolt...I didn't need gear and found it well protected....
