Description This is a fun zig-zag crack. Start 10' left of Willit Slab climbing up a groove past an old relic of a bolt stud. Then make some moves left to a crux crack. Fun moves on clean rock makes this a fun one to do while hanging out in the corridor, but be solid on the bottom and middle part as its not to great on pro.
Protection Pro to 2" Some thin pro can be placed before heading left but not much till then. A chain wrapped under a boulder was the anchor.We rapped down Willit Slab.

| This is a full sun no breeze route, perfect for a sunny cool morning in december. Nice layback finish thats easily protected. |

| Since we had the Slab TR'd already, we took a run up this one. My personal rating stays with 5.9, which I think may be a nod to the lieback finish, which we skipped. The bottom 3/4's of the route was tons of fun and quite easy, though I'm sure it would be a different story on lead. Only saw one bolt, with no hanger, that seems to have been driven in the late 70's. |

| An oddly placed bolt with no hanger still lies toward the start of this route. Try not to fall on it. I wish someone would yank the bolt.... it would pierce you if you fell on it... perhaps this danger adds to the 5.9 rating :-)
The crack is fun, but wished it was longer... |

| There is a rusty bolt beyond P1 anchors that would suggest a second pitch for this or Willit Slab.
Fun little route with easy moves to an easy lieback crack. |
