Description 

From directly below Eagles Eyrie go down hill a few feet to the right. Climb up and right to a bolt. Continue up and right to a 2 bolt anchor. The second pitch of this route is very cool with neat features. There is a crux at the start and at the end. In between enjoy the great jams. At about3/4 of the way clip a bolt move right then continue up to the thin crack finish. Will take a bit of traffic to clean up.

Location 

Just right of Eagles Eyrie

Protection 

A double set of cams to a #3 Camalot. Don't forget the micro cams for the top. There is also one bolt on each pitch.
