Description
Cool varied route up face to a left-leaning shallow dihedral and a steep finish. Sustained at the grade - might be 10a (only 1 lead and 1 toprope opinion on rating right now).
Note - about half the bolts on this route are currently 1/4". I'll try to upgrade summer 2011.
Location
Right of Armed Knobbery. Start behind the right edge of the small brushy tree, head up to a micro-thin flake - the first bolt is at the top of the flake at the left. The yellow alien size cam is used under a roof at the top of the route, and the RP can be used a few feet higher.
Protection
8 draws, one 0.75" cam, optional small RP, bolted sport-lower-off anchor.
