Description 

Start on a small tree island about 50' right of the 1st pitch belay of Manatee Fluid.

P1: Climb the thin face just left of the groove past three bolts and some gear (including #3 Camalot) to a natural belay in a right-facing corner at about 200'.

P2: Note: there is a mysterious bolt way out right that is off route. Climb the short corner above the belay past some moss pads and onto some flakes. Move up and right (a hook would be useful pro here) to the groove and a bolt. Continue up past another bolt about 10' above, then up the groove passing one more bolt up higher (oddly located a few feet left of the groove). From here easier grooving leads to a gear belay at some large flakes.

Rap from Manatee.


Location 

Climbs the obvious water groove right of Manatee Fluid. Access route by traversing in from start of Laurel's Girdle, or climbing Manatee's first pitch.


Protection 

Standard rack up to #3 Camalot. Tricams would be useful. Maybe a weighted skyhook for the flakes on pitch 2.
