Description 

This climb is on the left (southwest) arete of Bad Cop Rock and starts off boulders on the right edge of the west face.

Scramble up easy but unprotected moves to a high first bolt, where steep and positive climbing on patina jugs and plates lead right around the arete to a friction finish.

Fun climbing on decent rock but it's lack of height is a factor. One star out of five.

Protection 

3 bolts, anchors (all 3/8")
