Description 

This route features fun and exposed face climbing and makes a great warmup for the harder climbs in the area.

Climb up the slabby first section past two bolts to a blocky narrow ledge. Plug in some gear and then climb up and right past 4 bolts to a small roof. Get a piece or two over the roof in a small seam. Yard over the roof and then step up and left to the last bolt. A few more moves and the fantastic belay ledge is reached.


Location 

Starts 45 ft left of Spry Look and a couple feet left of a 10 ft Juniper tree


Protection 

Mixed, 7 bolts, red or yellow camolot, small tcus or c3s, small to medium nuts

Great climb- steep, exposed, well protected, and many surprise holds.

Concur with all of the above. Excellent addition to Hanging Chain. I will caution one to be wary of the edges directly off the ledge, broke a large chunk off the first flake above the ledge on 1/29. Route is no harder/easier now. Tread gingerly as falling on the ledge would be no bueno!

Excellent pitch. Spry Look's mini me. :)

I got a green/yellow alien above the roof.

That green sized alien is in pretty hollow rock. Best to get the smaller piece 6 inches or so higher.

I only placed a 2 at the start of the steeper section. Felt the bolts were adequate. Great climb with amazing edges. I felt like I didn't even have to hold on, the holds just grabbed me.
