Description

Variety of moves with some gear and 2 bolts gets you to a fixed anchor. Chimney up about 10 feet, place a nut, move left into a short corner and up from there. Crux move is probably moving up to the nice shelf about 10 feet below the anchor, bolt at your waist.

We cleaned quite a bit today, but still be aware of what you are pulling on. It is a nice addition to the other moderates at the School Yard. By the way, BJ did the majority of the work today, I just swooped in for the first lead:)

Location

Located about 30 feet right of Been Caught Stealin'. Start with a few easy chimney moves, place a medium nut or small cam then move left into a short corner and up to the first bolt.

Protection

Mixed gear route. Red C3 or medium nut and a green Camalot should do it, then 2 bolts on your way to fixed anchor.
