Description 

If your looking for a quick easy romp up a crag to impress your next date than this is the route for you.

Look for the easy foot holds on the right face and use the nice hand holds found on the left face. Just keep looking for the holds, they are there. If you're new to climbing this makes an impressive-looking 5.6 route that you can show all your friends. If you are more experienced then use this as a warm up to Mr Numbers or Panic City.

Location 

As you look at The Kitchen from the main Rock Canyon trail the Right Corner line is exactly in the right corner. Mr Numbers (5.10d) is on the wall on the right outside face of the corner.

Camber climbing the right corner. This is an excellent route for non-climbers. It can be done in tennis shoes but challenging enough to give them a sense of accomplishment when they reach the top.

This seemed harder than 5.6, but maybe it was just me. Glassy, with great gear, and way too short.

Unless I missed a set, the second set of anchors has a bit of rope drag - the first set (out over Numbers) has a much better line.

The Mr. Numbers anchors do make a cleaner top rope, but then you miss the crux of the climb as you pull over the top.

I didn't feel like the top part was the crux, but a simple solution for TR'ing is to use the anchors at the top of the formation, and then redirect the rope through the Mr. Numbers anchors. If climbers want to get to the top, just unclip from the Mr. Numbers anchors when you get there and keep climbing to the next set of bolts.
