Scramble up this slab using decent moves and climb out if you wish.

Start 15 left of Easy Street (5.4)(super vegatated crack in corner).
Right side of Nuttal Slabs

Protection

5 Bolts to Cold Shuts that need replacement.

[Hide Comment] Fun route. The crux move on this might be harder than any move on The Upheaval, especially if you're short. Oct 2, 2020

[Hide Comment] I always remember long ago that I would want to "warm up" on The Upheaval before getting on this one. Oct 19, 2020
[Hide Comment] Not exactly my idea of 5.8, but fun nonetheless. Mar 24, 2022

[Hide Comment] Fun route, but crux move is definitely at least 5.9+. Sep 5, 2024
