Description

This superb route, who's name comes from a Minor Threat song, is located on the right side of the Waterfall Wall a short distance right of Valdez (5.10d) and just left of Splish Splash (5.12c/d) which climbs along the edge of a small concave area.

After negotiating the steep, bouldery start (stickclip the 1st bolt or boulder up and then climb back down) move out left to a restful stance before punching it past a difficult section around the third bolt (crux). Higher the angle relents, the holds improve and it's a cruise to the anchors.

Originally the route stopped before the current anchors, but was later extended resulting in more quality climbing to an already fun climb.

Protection
