Hike upstream from UFC and you will find this route on the right just around the corner from the overhanging swooping white/orange wall.  This is right before the canyon opens up and before James Canyon's mouth. <br /> <br />Route is on east side facing north.  Crack to 5 bolts. <br /> <br />Any info? <br /> <br />There are also three well bolted face climbs up the grey slab climber's left of this route in the photo.  They all face north as well and are in a gully.  They look good!
