Description 

The attraction in this route is all in the first 15 feet of climbing. The route starts in beautiful overhanging huecoes to a powerful crux just after the first bolt. The crux involves a tricky sidepull throw to the left - a big span. Then up to a jug and the second clip.

After you clip the second bolt, the angle eases off and the route gets a bit sandy and unremarkable. But this route is worth doing just for the great climbing up to the second bolt.


Location 

On the left side of the crag, just around the corner from the steep wall that holds Director of Humor Affairs. Look for a route that starts up on big chalked huecos - fairly obvious


Protection 

4 bolts to anchors
