Description 

As Todd McG was lowering off Bunkweed (which he hated... along with everything else at the Steep), he pointed to the right and said "Why not put a route there. It looks better than anything else at this crag." And I thought "yeah...good eye Todd !"

Slightly overhanging and a bit confusing on sight. Good warmup pump once you know the moves.

Location 

Just to the right of Bunkweed, 2 routes share a start heading up to the left margin of a strange, dark, blocky patch of rock. Stone Free then heads slightly left while "Glenn's Route" veers right into the dark blocky stuff.

Stone Free uses a few holds in the dark blocky stuff (good rest there) before heading up and left.

Protection 

Bolts.
