Description 

The route starts just left of "Firebird" up a low angled rib.

Pitch 1- Climb the rib to a bolt and then follow bolts to a seam and then up and slightly right up a slab to a two bolt belay/rappel station. (same as for Firebird). There are 8 protection bolts on this pitch. Continue up Firebird for a good half-day outing.

To descend- a 190' rappel from bolt/chain anchors leads back to the ground.

Location 

This route is located on the Forgotten Buttress, see the route Firebird for detailed approach information.

Protection 

Quickdraws and one long sling for the 4th bolt.
