Description 

A little dirty- and inconsequential-looking, this route has a bunch of good moves and is worth doing if you're in the area. It's harder than it looks, but has good rests between cruxes. Some of the clips seemed long to me, but the bolts are spaced closely enough that the difficult clips were not an issue.

Location 

Walk up the Snake Eyes gully until the wall begins to peter out. There is a narrow quartzy vertical dike. Left of this is a short, left-facing, dirty corner leading to a small overhang and a groove. This is the route.

Protection 

6 bolts to a two bolt anchor.
