Description
There is another listing for the original trad route. This is the retro-bolted version of the climb so you know what you are getting on when you find yourself at the cliff looking up at bolts.
From the base of the stairs/ladders look for the blocky dike of the classic,Tropicana 5.11a. Orange crush is the next bolt line to the left. Start as for Citrasolve for a move or two then traverse right weaving your way through enjoyable moves on flakes and face holds. Mostly on-your-feet climbing. This is the easiest line on the main section of the cliff and a nice way to get to the anchors of Citrasolve or Tropicana if you'd rather not lead them.
