Description 

This route is a worthy alternative if Orange Oswald area is full (when is it not?), and thus is less greasy and heavily traveled. The newest guide lists it as "5.10," and it feels about 10a. Fun, slightly overhanging moves past the first three bolts are the crux, with some crazy serrated vertical seams to carefully sink your fingers into. The face above is much reminiscent of the top of Lickety Split and its neighbors further down the Satisfaction wall, which is to say fun and pleasant.

Location 

Locate a small spur trail to your left as you walk towards Orange Oswald, after you pass Satisfaction Guaranteed. This is the route in the middle of the face.

Protection 

6 bolts, cold shut anchors
