Description 

This is a possible trad lead utilizing horizontal cracks after stepping off the boulder to the right of the 3 far-left bolted routes at River Wall. Gear is scarce, and the rock is dirty. The Stewart Green guidebook says to rap off a tree up top, but it is perched behind boulders and seems less than ideal for pulling and rope drag. I say avoid this route.

Location 

This is the slabby face with horizontal cracks, just right of the 3 far left bolted routes.

Protection 

Small pieces in horizontal cracks, but beware...gear is scarce and there is no fixed anchor up top.
