Description
Start with easy climbing on the broken slab on the left side of Bowery Rock. Use care while surmounting the top of the slab because the large upper plate is loose and could shift. After clipping the first bolt, continue up the headwall. Some interesting moves define the crux, protected by the second bolt. Finish on positive holds past one more bolt, and another interesting sequence, to a large belay ledge with rap anchor. A great lead that keeps you on your toes! This climb has seen few ascents and still needs a lot of cleaning but is surprisingly sticky for the feet, except for the finishing move. Rappel to descend.
Protection
3 bolts, bolted anchor
