Description Residing on the far left of Orange Crush, Sir Edmond Drillary starts on the large boulder left of Orangahang. Stick clip from here, as a fall would certainly not be in your best interest.
Start left of the first bolt, eventually reaching a small roof. Traverse slightly right, skirting the roof. After some pumpy moves on decent holds, you will be able to gain a rest in the corner. From here, the route traverses out left and eventually up were the chains will be waiting for you.
Though the moves can be a little pumpy near the bottom, the route is short and the rests are solid if you can get them just right. Not a classic, but surely worth your time.
Location Far left of Orange Crush, starting on the huge boulder above and to the left of Orangahang. Approach from either the main trail at the second parking lot, or head up and right from Bonsai.
Protection 5 bolts to LO.

| this one seems likely to eat your rope... the rope runs right over the edge of the roof... that wouldnt happen if you linked it in to the orangahang finish... if i do the route again i might try that... |

This route seems to be getting much better with traffic. When he first put it up, it was " Ooh, ow, ow, how, wow, ow " |
