Description 

This is a quality moderate that should become a popular route as one of the easiest routes in Rifle.

Good climbing on mostly big holds make this an enjoyable and attainable moderate. The hardest moves may be just getting off the ground. At mid-height, you can stay slightly right of the arete or you can move left and climb on the low angle arete. All throughout this section there are huge holds and secure clipping stances. A slightly challenging section where the big holds run out at the top guard the chains.

Location 

This is 15 feet left of Irish Blood, the short 5.9 corner, that is ~250 feet left of Feline. Look for the glue-in bolts climbing the face behind the pine tree.

Protection 

10 (?) glue-in bolts plus the anchor.
