Description
This unusual route has the distinction of being the longest route at the Short Wall, traversing the wall in it's entirety. Probably not the best climb for those crowded weekends but midweek should work.
Starting at the far left side of the wall, left of Step 'n Out, traverse right following an obvious horizontal break that ends at the far right side near Donna T's Route and finishes up that route.
A fun climb that is easier than appearances suggest with both good gear and varied climbing.
