Description

This is probably the only 5.7 sport route that I know of at Sandrock. Bottom half has a buldge with pockets and positive holds which turns into a slab. Nice climb for the aspiring leader. If the bolts are chopped, just boulder this V0.

Location

Look at the fireplace rock cave and go right. Go through a corridor between Fireplace Rock and the Shoe Box near the slab. Hang a left and you'll see this route on the valley side.
