The S-most route on the E wall of the Pit. This route ascends a short overhang on killer pockets to a good ledge. A final 10 foot section on small, sharp pockets and crimps leads to the chains. One of the few White Rock routes with morning shade.

I think this climb--if you stay on the face at the top--is just as challenging as Gralisa Leen. You can ease the grade quite a bit if you grab around the edge to the right. Fun climb overall, bouldery start.
It's worth noting that I've been told that this route was ascended as a solo/highball before I bolted it. I didn't know that at the time, but I still think it's a fun route and better as a sport climb than a solo.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that the FA was probably solo by one or another of the Butler/Laeser/Torres trio when they were in high school.
