A straight-forward and fun introduction climb to those new to the Tower area. Very featured climbing with loads of hold options on good rock with a steeper couple of moves at the top but still plenty of good holds to keep the rating reasonable.
Location
This is the first bolted route to the left of the corner/dihedral at the Sleeping Beauty wall.
Protection
4 bolts to chain anchor. The first bolt appears pretty high but the climbing to that point is very easy.
Particularly when those 50 ft are a giant chosspile.

Interesting comment above. I had avoided this route in the past because I'd heard that it was loose (ref: D. Jackson's Rock Climbing New Mexico), but that wasn't my experience at all. In fact, with the exception of the bottom 10 feet being loose in spots (easily avoidable), the entire route felt great. Perhaps traffic has cleaned it up a bit?
