Be careful leading this route! Last spring I placed a cam under the overhang and the jug I was hanging from levered forward a half inch when I tugged on the cam to see if it was secure. You will be hanging on this same jug if you do the route. It's a great short route, and still worth doing, but use caution.

That jug has been teetering for years. Makes for an eye-opening experience the first time you grab it on lead.
