Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Climb a rounded arete on that classic slippery rock. The way I found the line, this route wanders like an S. It is quite good with a definite crux near the top when you are nice and pumped.

Location 

At the top of the Climbers' left approach trail. between General Dynamics and Exit stage Left. Use the rightmost bolted anchor for the TR.

You will need to lead Lilley's delight 5.7 hand crack or something harder to set this.

Protection 

TR. It appears that this was once led on one bolt. It would be relatively safe to lead on that bolt (if it were there) because lower down you would get a solid cam and it eases up above the crux.
