Description 

Basically starts on Beginners route and ends at the top left edge of the South Buttress. Anice climb that covers a lot of ground at a moderate grade. From beginners, move up and left to the standard arch cross left over Sliding Board and keep going left over Dike route and then onto a ledge system above the Echo roof. Down climb a little and you are atop Looselips/ Children's Crusade. Rap and swing left to the Eliminate and a cool ramp/ledge system that goes all the way to Lost Souls/Atlantis. Climb the big corner on Atlantis to the ledge then go left, way over to a left facing corner(5.8) 3 bolts (A0) get you to the top.

Location 

As described, the line is actually pretty obvious and natural. This one will really teach you a lot about rope work and moving quickly. 4-8 hours

Protection 

Pro is OK but spaced with a lot of traversing
