Description
This is a sustained and fairly runout slab climb. The crux comes approximately 2/3 the way between the first and second bolt, but the entire climb is quite exciting. Make sure you have your head straight for this one!
Location
Located on the slab just to the right of Goodrich Pinnacle Right.
Protection
Two bolts and one small cam (#1 C3) or nut. There is a two bolt anchor on the ledge on top.
