Description 

Starts to the right of the bolts and moves left after the 2nd bolt. Rock at the bottom is solid w/small pockets and edges. The seam that runs between the 3rd and 4th bolt offers some good hand holds. Crux is getting above the 4th bolt. Milk the rest at the 4th bolt for the rest of the route. Holds have fallen from the upper section over the years and has changed the route a little.


Location 

To the left of The Zoo.


Protection 

6 bolts plus chains

GIVE A SPOT!

Really nice moves on great rock. The sequence is really neat to figure out.

A spotter would definitely be great as the crux seems to be right before or right after the first bolt rather than higher up. This route is very sustained with few places to take a solid rest. There are plenty of good holds, but you really have to search around for them. Pockets, to crimps, sidepulls, and the occasional gaston.
