Description 

Climbs the face on the left side of the crack with the sumac bush growing out of the top. Fun, varied, steep climbing on edges and pockets. The bolting is little bit "sporty" compared to some of the Echo moderates, but the protection is where you need it. Traverses right under the sumac to finish. Shares the anchor with Morning Glory.

Location 

This route is located just right of Wet Bush and left of the obvious crack.

Protection 

Bolts and fixed anchor.
