Description
Blazing Biners may be worthwhile if you're in the area for Shoyu State, but even that could be debated. The climbing is good, but the problem is it is very contrived: The bolts force you to stay just right of obvious juggy holds.
To find the climb, see the description for Shoyu State. From the bottom of the ramp, scramble up about 25 feet and then place gear in a good crack below the lip of the roof. Grab a big positive hold and swing up onto the face and climb past three bolts to the slung horns. Try not to look left at the big holds.
Protection
Three bolts to an anchor (horn slung with webbing). Bring a cam in the yellow or red Alien range to protect the opening move.
Per Tony B: there is now a two bolt ASCA anchor above this climb just left of the horn which was slung in the past as of Oct. 29, 2007.
