Description 

Needs some cleaning up by further ascents. After going over some chockstones in Old #7 (about 120' off the ground) look for a right-trending small crack that angles up across a dirty and licheny slab. Climb this and then up a black water streak to the top of the wall.


Location 

Old #7 Start. Rap off Spaceballs.


Protection 

Nuts and small to medium cams. Good pro most of the way but somewhat tedious to place at times.

This is one of my favorite routes! It is a great link-up with Old Number 7, just make sure you have a 60m cord and enough slings! It makes for a great pitch. it might be easier to break down into two pitches but that lessens some of the excitement. A tree at the top makes a great anchor. there is also a good anchor tree at the start of New #8. you can also double rope rap from the tree or go toward Ker Plunk, down climb to the anchors and rap off there with a single rope.
