Description Start up mossy, dirty rock to a stance. Use face holds and the crack to pull yourself up and find small, slick feet. Continue up, using face holds to your left, while jamming your toes in little pockets. The crux comes between the 2nd & 3rd bolt, with a smallish right hand crimp. Scramble up to just below the ledge, place a stopper and/or cam in the short crack at your right hand, then pull over the ledge to the anchor.
The bolts, as is the case on many other less-climbed routes here, are loose and rusty. From here you can top-rope Free Bird and Ground Effects. This is probably the only reason you would want to do this route.
Location Far left side of the Spring Rock.
Protection 3 bolts, a #8 BD nut and/or 0 Metolius cam

| Toe Cleavage only has two bolts on it. There's another bolt down low but that's for the neighboring route, Velcro Fly.

| I clipped three, all of which spun and were of different sizes. Definitely could be protected with little wires or maybe a couple TCUs. I liked the sound of your idea of just slinging the X-marked flake... unless it's pissing down rain and the basalt becomes a slip'n'slide. |

| Yea I hope that X marked block stays put. I guess if it hasn't come out in the 24 years that people having been climbing over it it's probably going to be there a while (knock on wood).
