Good warm up climb.

Description Work your way past an awkward slick (and often wet) spot (crux), then up easier rock on large holds to the anchors. A nice warm-up and immensely popular. Get there early on a nice weekend.
Location The middle of three bolted routes on the face just right and slightly upslope from the large shelter cave (Narcissus Cave). Look for a wet or stained spot about 15 feet up.
Protection 6 bolts + 2-bolt anchor.

CONDITION REPORT | The left hanger at the anchor was super loose. It was only a few turns from coming off entirely. Bring a wrench if you climb this one. |

CONDITION REPORT | In response to Jack's comment, while thankful for the info, please do not take a wrench up and tighten down any hangers, you can cause more harm than good if you don't know what you are doing. |

| Good fun route to start off the day. Belaying area is rather funky being that it is on a slope. |
