Description
This is the current rightmost route on the west face of the Slab, up on the Undertow ledge. It climbs the black, bulging wall with a big, crispy flake at the start and an overhanging groove up high, to anchors over the lip.
Head up and right along the ledge from Undertow and stand tall to clip the first bolt ***before*** you pull onto the flake (the flake is very thin along the bottom). Move up to the flake top and into the crux. I've seen some chalk heading off right, but beware: that is loose choss and a better sequence is the one on the left. Cop a rest at the break and then finish past two more bolts on cool flutings (5.10).
This is a good, thuggy warm-up for other routes at the Slab.
Protection
Per Joseph Crotty: seven bolts to a two bolt anchor. (The fixed carabiners on the anchor were transient. Formerly this had five bolts to double bolt anchors).
