Description 

An airy and fun route which features bolted laybacking to start (12a). The whitish overhanging face above (the 2nd crux) can be done by side-clipping the bolt from the left and doing a major "hook around" left as well (this would be the easiest way). We elected to stay but a foot or two left of the bolt and thought it to be 12b.
Toproping the bolt straddling version later felt a good deal harder.

Location 

The 6th route met in the canyon on the North side of the creek.

Protection 

7 bolts.
