Description Next to the popular Minty, this route gets much less traffic although it features the same steep jugs.
P1. Start up blocks and a face 20' to the right of Minty, then traverse left on a good ledge to a belay at a corner. 5.4, 90'.
P2. Follow the corner up and a bit right to the GT Ledge. 5.3, 90'.
Rappel from here, or continue...
P3. Escape right or climb straight up. 5.3, 50'.
Descend either left to the Uberfall or Minty or move right to the Madame G's rap station.
Protection Standard Gunks rack.

| A fun, well protected route. Great for new leaders. Plenty of possible ways up the first pitch. |

| Guidebook rates this climb at 5.3 and that seems about right. There is some very loose and broken rock at the start of P2. |
