Description 

A fun, long line with several somewhat steeper sections to overcome on the way up. Pockets abound, along with positive edges. In one or two steeper locations just a bit of less-than-totally straightforward movement is required.

After the eleventh bolt, head up and right a bit through a scoop to the final three bolts and the anchors.

Location 

The left line of the two routes located between the two large, dead, fire-blacked trees. You may think that this is Righteous Indignation, but look in the Goss guidebook and you'll note that Righteous Indignation is a line to the left of the large-ish green tree in the photo (which tree is now the left, or downhill, blackened crisp).

(This line and the line to its right aren't in the guidebook.)

Protection 

14 bolts, single-ring anchors.
