Description This is the rightmost bolted route on Starlight Buttress, and left of RAVEN'S HAVEN corner. It is overhung and pumpy for the entirety. The crux is midway up, moving past crimpers to a juggy ledge. This is the most sustained route on the buttress and a must do. It is a straightforward route with a little of everything, from crimpers to jugs, and an occasional long reach/dyno.
Location This is on the Starlight Buttress.
Protection Save two long runners for the anchors.
A colorful Stefan Doucette going for the belay.

| Only 8 or 9 years ago this route was done - rumor has it that Glenn may possibly name it soon. Till then it is - The G Route. |

| For an extra pump/challenge:
Start all the way down in the hole.
Like way down, sit start style.
Rock is a little funny in places,
but man it makes it like 80 ft to the chains:) |

| Many thanks to the Thunder Ridge crew for the time and work put into these canyons. This place is the epitomy of fun climbing.... I haven't been able to stop thinking about the G Route since I first hopped on it! |

| Just a heads up to those attempting/belaying below the route: the final jug near the ancors is definitely loose. I felt it flex as I climbed to the anchors and could wiggle it as I was lowering off and inspecting furhter. Be careful, and have the belayer be out of the way. It is a pretty sizeable chunk of rock. |
