Description

Start to the left of the overhanging prow/roof feature. Climb two bolts (on Next To The Last Boy Scout 5.12) then break right for the third bolt. A traversing right throw near the third bolt to a big hidden jug will set you up to continue into the steepness. Now climb straight up for the fourth bolt and on. Stay several feet left of the prow the whole time and follow the natural line into slopers and a sloping vertical crack crux.

Location

Look for the overhanging prow feature 15' right of Monkey Boy. Start to the left of the arete. You climb two bolts straight on Next to the Last (5.12) then break right on then straight up on independent bolts.

Protection

Quickdraws, Rusty anchor. Another anchor is also 4 feet away. I put a long draw on the 2nd bolt.
