Description Use same start as Children of a Lesser Grade, but step right and follow a slick slab along a white water streak past two bolts to the anchors. It's a bit run-out to the first bolt, so be ready or just stick-clip it. This has good stone, but the entrance holds are starting to get polished.
Protection [3] bolts + anchor.

| The crux is getting off the ground. A bit tricky, but safe if your belayer spots you. You can clip the first bolt of Children of a Lesser Grade (use a long runner) to cut down on the run out to the first bolt. |

| It looks like a third bolt has been added up high. |

| There are three bolts on this route. The runout to the first bolt isn't that bad, not much for the hands but huge sloping footholds. The crux for me was at the third bolt. |

| This is a fun climb and a great slab warm up. |

| You can basically step down if your balance starts to slip on the first move. Above that is easy until above the first somewhat runout bolt. |

| This climb is harder than it looks, especially if slab is not your thing. |

| Fun route that is harder than it looks. Crux is getting off the ground and then around the 3 bolt. If you get off the ground, the run out is quite easy to the first bolt. Good climb! |

| Definitely seemed harder than 5.9 if you're not a slab climber. |

| Funny, the crux start move on this is the same crux move on the 10c to the left. I'm not sure why one was given 10c and the other 5.9. |

| A new hanger was added a bit lower by Bob a few weeks ago to take some of the bite out of that high first one. |
