Description

This enjoyable route starts in a short crack section with a high first bolt. There are a number of hard to read cruxes as you head up the slab. An easy roof is passed before you reach the anchor. Becareful lowering off, since the route is just at 100ft.

Location

Second route from the left side of the crag.

[Hide Comment] The crux on this felt pretty stiff for 10b to me. If "The Good Stuff" around corner is 10a then this is closer to 10+/11- in comparison. Maybe it's height dependent too. A lot of the moves (and clipping stances) were right at the limit of my reach and I'm 5'9". I think if you are 6'+ it would be a bit easier. May 1, 2017
[Hide Comment] Really good route and agree with Tim G. felt rather stiff for the grade (but it was in the sun and warm when we did it which are not the best conditions for slab). I would recommend a 70M rope. A 60M can work but both ends (of our 60) were about 5 feet above the deck...Ok with stretch but just barely. I think the guidebook says 6 bolts but I think it is more like 10 bolts plus the anchors. I did not get a count - next time. Jul 6, 2020
