Description The second route from the left of four bolted routes.
Start a bit to the right, moving left to clip the first bolt, then climb thin edges (crux, 5.7+) to easier slab climbing past 2 more Bolts. Traverse right across dike, then straight up a steepening friction slab past 4 more bolts (5.7).
The rock is grainy, but improving with every ascent.
Protection 7 bolts, 2-bolt anchor, 70 ft.

| The bottom crux is edgy and crimpy, whereas the crux at the top is palmy and smeary. Good route, well protected and solid for this 5.8 toproper.
EDIT: Starting directly under the first bolt is edgy and crimpy, starting to the right is more typical of the route. |
