Description Climb the crack up to the odd-looking alcove and prow (easier than it looks). Step around right (crux 1), then up the face to a ledge. Clip the last bolt and do one 5.9-5.10a move (crux move) to reach the anchors. This is a fun route with good rock (except for one small section) and 2 mini-cruxes. Possibly a bit soft for .10a.
Location 15 feet right of Child's Play at the obvious crack capped by a small alcove about 30 feet up.
Protection 8 bolts.

| Climbed this at the end of the day, after meeting Bob and Carrie Robertson by chance at the cliff a little earlier. Did not know this was one of their lines they put up, but it was definitely my wife's favorite climb of the day. Thanks, Bob and Carrie! |

| Really enjoyed this route. I thought the crux move was in the middle (moving above the crack). There's a nice ledge to stand on and work out the moves to the anchor, which weren't too hard. |
