Description
Another excellent, long Eagle Canyon face climb. This line faces slightly more north than its twin
"Unnamed Left", so it receives more shade, and so is a bit mossy-er. Despite the slightly less than ideal stone, this route offers a rope-stretching pitch of great climbing capped by an intimidating roof.
Begin by scrambling up the ramp-like dihedral. Head up the steep slab to a technical crux around the 4th and 5th bolts. A timely jaunt onto the right arete provides some key relief before veering back left. The final roof can be surmounted directly on good pockets, or its possible to traverse left around it, depending on your preference.
Location
Immediately right of "Unnamed Left", or two routes right of
Manhattan.
Protection
10 bolts, shares the anchor with "Unnamed Left".

I added the FA info to this route and "Unnamed Right", which someone told me, but wasn't 100% sure about it, so correct me if I'm wrong. Aug 30, 2009
