Description Oral tradition says this was the first route put up at Birdsboro. Walking along the trail, you see it jump out as the cleanest looking face climb in the quarry.
I started to the lower left of the face in a corner and then moved right to the face around to get to the first bolt. From there I stuck to the face, even though the arete or cracks near it were within reach. Instead I stuck to the thin, horizontal cracks/features on the mostly blank face.
Location Zorro Face
Protection 3 bolts to anchor.

| I opt to start from the bottom of the face proper, which entails a tricky and long reach to a left hand slot that slopes away off of a decent but balancy left foot on the corner. I am 6'1" with a +2 ape index, which makes that possible for me. I don't think I have the skill to make that move without the benefeit of my reach. The remainder of the route is a little reachy to thin crimps/pods for both hands and feet on a slab a few degrees below vertical. |

| Most people I've talked to start out on the left, on the thin ledge that diagonals down from left to right. I will also agree that the arete is obviously off. Great face climb. |

| I always heard that faint and fracture where the first climbs put up back there. |
