Description
A 5-bolt, easy route worth doing only if you've done everything else on the Red Slab and/or feel like getting away from the crowd.
Easy climbing on mossy, rough quartzite. The rock does have some interesting-looking pockets down low that you don't see elsewhere in the Rock Canyon quartzite.
Your rope may end up with a green tinge from dragging through the dry moss.
Rappel rather than lower due to the anchor.

Location
The route lies uphill from and to the south of the Red Slab proper. To get there, go to the right side of the Red Slab and then head west a bit. A steep slot will appear on your left. Head up the slot (south) and at the top of the slot bear left towards the wall. The route starts in a sort of hollow at the base of the wall (looks like some giant used a spoon and took a chunk out).

I did this climb several years ago and then soloed it last Thanksgiving Day. That was a cold one. That same day I also started cleaning a nice line to the left of this route, but gave up due to the enormous amount of brushing, blasting, scrubbing, and cleaning involved. SO much moss. The rock there was really nice, though. I soloed it on toprope and it was probably 5.6ish. I think another couple days of cleaning would be enough... May 12, 2008
