Description
Not a great route, but not a complete waste of time either. The line is on the S. Face of the Room To Shroom rock and may be a diversion to climb prior to the sun hitting the W. Face and the main attractions here.
Climb up to reach a crack that becomes a shallow left-facing corner and follow it to the standard rap station. Alternatively, the route may also be a quick TR after doing one of the more popular routes. This line does have a little scaly rock, but it's not as bad as the name might imply.
The route is visible as the shaded corner on the right-hand side of the rock in the attached picture, but this shot, although showing the line, does little to describe it.
