Description
Interesting climbing on vertical patina plates gives way to a engaging sequence of thin crimps and sloping smears (crux) just past the 2nd bolt. Once the third bolt is reached a few more smears lead up and slightly left to a rounded mantle and anchors up and over the top.
Although short this is a high quality route that deserves more attention.
Location
Just left of Out of Order, two routes left of Exhibit A and about 50' right of Tim's Valentine .
