Description 

Another Morning Glory moderate. This is a good alternative to the adjacent 5 Gallon Buckets if there are people on it. It is margially more difficult than its neighbor with a crux coming towards the top.

The route is found between 5 Gallon Buckets and Gumby on the huecoed section of the Morning Glory Wall.


Protection 

Route is protected by 6 bolts and a bolted anchor

Fun climb. Slightly more difficult than five gallon buckets with some good edging up top. The new guide rates it .10a.

Really fun climb. Looks like it's rated a 5.9 if you start at 5 Gallon Buckets and move right (re: smithrock.com route guide and the watts guidebook), but if you climb straight up from under the anchors, the consensus seems to be a 5.10a (which I agree with). Fun start (when you get it). :)

It also seems like with the popularity of that particular area, it's good karma to climb the routes straight up, leaving bolts for the other routes free.

This is a great route if you're looking for something a little spicier than 5 Gallon Buckets. It gets the edging and crimping game warmed up for the rest of the delicate climbing in the Park.
