BETA PHOTO: The route follows the shallow right facing dihedra...


Description 

This route is a great moderate warm-up at the dihedrals! Start right behind the tower directly below two bolts, climb up and bust right after the second to a small ledge. There is a small pod in the ledge that takes a grey alien nicely, a 0.75 Camalot or (even better) a 1.5 Friend fits in the flare above this. Follow the ledge to the shallow right facing dihedral. A #0 C3 or stoppers fit nicely in the first pod. Get a good piece then stem and lieback your way through several more pods to a hand jam. From there run it out a couple of feet to the bolt anchors.


Location 

Behind the towers and left of the cracks (bloody elbows, etc) at the dihedrals. The first bolt is roughly 8 feet off the ground and has a half pink anodized hanger.


Protection 

2 each 0.3-#2 Camalot, Stoppers (or #0 C3), 2 Bolts
