Description
On the FA the route was rap cleaned then led ground up. It still needs a good cleaning periodically, to get the loose dirt out of the gear placements and in the vertical seam section, since it gets runoff from the trail above.
You start at the far left end of the slab, just right of the mossy stuff. Climb straight up a ways to a horizontal crack that takes good gear, continue up past a vertical seam, then traverse right about 8' until you're under the obvious horizontal overlap. You can crawl under the overlap and place a couple of decent cams, then pull the overlap on nice small face holds, wander up the face above to a hidden #3.5 Friend or #3 Camalot on your left, then finish up the obvious thin crack through the bulge to the top. You can share the bolted anchor station with Pepsi.
