Description Climb up a short flake/crack (gear; small to med cams), then up past three bolts to a bolted anchor. Worthwhile climbing. Fun and interesting climbing.
Location Located right of Dry Lake and left of Noriega Does Panama
Protection Gear at the start (small to med cams), and then three bolts to a bolted anchor (all 3/8").

| Worth a quick lap if you're already over on this side of the formation. The black-colored hangers are a bit of an eyesore. Crux is probably the move getting off the ground. |

| Cool kind of liebacking moves up positive features leads to a somewhat delicate step left to finish up typical Josh grain. Fun |

| A little awkward getting established to clip the first bolt then good movement up the lieback section with a standard grain finish. It's nice to see new routes like this turn up in such heavily visited/developed areas. |
