This route is just west of the obvious shale band on the south face of the left side of Seldom Scene Gully. Got that. A very enjoyable climb whose crux seems to be clipping the 1st bolt. Don't panic as the climb eases up but not by much. Holds that lean the wrong way, sidepulls, and thin edges make this route a must do.

10 draws for the route, 2 for the chains along with runners to extend the anchors off the edge.
This is a must do route with the crux being the first 10'. So if you follow, be aware that rope stretch will cause you to hit the ground (personal experience), but only if you fall.
I had one of those "slow motion moments" when my partner got a little off route and sent a bowling ball sized rock str8 at my head! I ducked and, other than that it was fun.
I think it is alot cleaner these days and I believe the infamous Stevo Habovstak is mostly responsible for this cool line. Love that approach. Randy K was probably on the other end of the rope, though! Fun climb!!!
