BETA PHOTO: Mr. Cornflakes in on Red Slab, Rock Canyon
Description
This route is between Desperado and The Mantle Route. It offers a moderate, safe, fun lead, but can be top roped by hiking up to the South. The route has a tiny roof at the beginning that can be seen in the photo.
Climbed it yesterday, seemed thin for 5.7, but a great route. The first bolt is past a 5.7 move. No need for anything but quickdraws...( 7 or 8) On second thought I would bring a snaplink for the top as the chains are starting to wear through pretty well. This route gets done everyday, but get up at 630 in the morning and you have the wall all to yourself. Rock Canyon is beautiful in the morning...

The start is pretty easy, and would be good for the new leader. The bolt line moves to the south and shares the top few bolts and anchors of the Mantle Route. If you get stuck at the crux on the Mantle Route, lower off and climb Mr. Cornflakes to avoid the Mantle Route crux.

I don't know if I was on the wrong route or something, but this felt pretty stout for 5.7. Cruxes came with your feet about the last bolt, which I don't think would be very good for a new leader.
