Description
This adventure starts high above the desert and features well-protected slab climbing that wanders upwards past many bolts, not all of which are in the best locations.
Originally done as two separate routes - Leftovers (5.9) and Cold Carnitas (5.10b) with a belay in a slanting crack midway, but it makes more sense to combine them into a single pitch.
Location
Located up and left from the prominent crack of Lunch which can be used to approach the route.
Another option is to climb I Love my Marine to below it's final headwall and cut left to join the route.
Protection
8 bolts, gear to 3 inches
