Description 

Despite the chossy ledge midway and silly name I feel this route is a classic. Above the 1/3 height ledge the rock changes to some of the most clean textured and delightful stone I've ever seen. The position near the top is just fantastic. AND the climb is nearly always dry, even in a downpour like most of the routes here.


Location 

On the far right edge of the Rasputin ledge but just before the massively overhung "Bee Wall." Start in left facing corner. Climb to ledge and belay or runner prudently and keep pullin'.


Protection 

12? draws. A long pitch. Anchors may need replacing.
