Description
Start on a ledge, just to the right of a black streak (containing Back in Black and below a lighter streak that is immediately right of the black streak. Climb to the third bolt and decide how best to surmount the bulge. There is some looser, crumblier rock to the left of the bulge.
After the bulge follow positive and not-so-positive edges through a steeper section to a small roof (the last bolt is on the edge). After the little roof it is easier climbing to the anchors.
This was originally a four-bolt Aaron Wilkenson project that lay fallow for six or seven years.
The second pitch of Send For The Man (5.10a) can be started from the top of this route, if desired.
Protection
7 bolts, hangers-and-rings anchors (shared with Send For The Man to the right).
Rope drag is an issue if toproping. Bring something to extend the anchors.
