Description 

Work past a couple of bolts through a odd sequence that uses shallow pockets and underclings to a rest. Then work right and up past horizontals. While climbing this route one winter and reaching said horizontals, I was surprised by the sharp prick I felt after sticking my hand in said horizontal. After regaining my composure and standing up to look into the pocket, I saw a small bat. Quickly, I checked my finger...no blood - good, no puncture - good, horizontal - about a 1.5 friend - good. Finish up to the anchors.

(no bats were harmed in the climbing of this route)

Location 

One of the first routes encountered as you walk up the approach trail. Located on the right hand wall as you are heading down towards the SCC bulletin board.

Protection 

Couple of cams, bolt, anchors.
