Description Start just right of the fallen tree. (route to the right of The Penguin) Climb into a right-facing dihedral, staying a little left of the 5th bolt. Finish the route with a high hand beside and left of the anchors or traverse right at 6th bolt onto the covered ledge. (5.10'ish) A great dihedral with tricky feet and body positions, look for crimp on face by 3rd/4th bolt to get the feet and body up.
Protection 6 bolts / 2 bolt anchor.

| Just did this route a couple days ago - tricky, esp. as a warm up! Three of us did the route, 3 different variations for doing the crux. It's a lot harder than it looks from the ground. The Joker, 3 routes to the left, is a better warm up, though that has a couple thoughtful bits as well.... Oh, and we stayed dry in the rain! |

| The first 3/4 of the route has very delicate, balancey moves. Everything feels insecure like you are just about to smear off. Then a good rest and a huge jug rail to the anchors...which I eloquently flopped across in true beached whale fashion. Not sure how much fun it would be blowing the anchor clip on this climb. Satisfying climb for me though. |

| 1st bolt is total sketch. Finish is really weird, and reeks of rat shit. |
