A mostly vertical to slightly overhanging limestone climb on crimps and jugs, including a few sidepull/undercling jugs that make it interesting. The angle eases after the fourth bolt. Overall a fun climb.
Location
Third route from the left on the east-most part of the Hidden Wall.
Protection
5 bolts to chains. The first bolt can be clipped from the ground so it isn't particularly useful.
This is a pretty fun route. While it's a bit stiff, the moves are fun and it's not a straight forward jug haul. This route has side pulls, gastons, crimps, smears and even a mantle, all in 5 bolts. The only thing it's missing is a killer pocket. IMO this route is more fun than The Hidden, the 10c to the left, and not that much more difficult.
starts left, works right into first bolt, super fun...uber fun route all the way up

As soon as you climb to the upper part of hidden wall this route catches your eye. I don't think it starts left as Andy said, but I could be wrong....went up straight just fine. Not sure where the crux is if there is one. Great route with lots of sidepulls, gastons, and underclings. I'm not sure if the route curves left to get the last bolt on 44 cal. killer before going to the chains, but even if you keep going straight up (small runout) the route stays good.
All the routes have their own holds mostly. Stay a bit to the right except maybe the last little bit. I see people bailing off ".44 C.K." into the upper flake of "Metal" all the time and then getting all excited that they sent ".44 CK." But all the routes on this part are separate (like eliminate boulder problems).
