Description 

This is an excellent route put up by the late great Doug Coombs. Fun 5.10 climbing through the first 5 bolts leads into the "Crossover" crux. The crux begins at the roof, then moves into a shallow left facing dihedral before traversing left onto the arete. The route finishes with some fun face climbing.


Location 

First route to the left (west) of Monkey Flower.


Protection 

9 or 10 draws to 3 bolt anchor
