Description 

Climb a fun, awkward start (face, stem) to a thin crack (right hand) below the first bolt. Protect the crack, then step up and clip the first bolt. Try to resist the A0 moves that follow. Get established in the shallow face bowl leading to the second bolt, clip that rig, then up. Fun!

Location 

Right of Smooth As Silk, on South facing narrow buttress with two visible bolt anchors on a shallow concave face. Faces the road. Kind of at the last transition of the crag from SE to the SW end. Rappel from same sling nest anchor as Smooth As Silk.

Protection 

Standard rack. Two bolts. I found a 00 TCU, a #2 TCU, a couple 1/2" cams, a small nut and a #1 Camalot particularly useful.
