Description

Another fun route at the Candy Store. Seems to be several different ways to climb this route. Stay close to the arete right of the bolt line (less sustained) or stay just left of the bolt line (more sustained) and go up the face. Both versions feel 10a with the crux near the bottom.

Location

The bolted line just right of Sugar Daddy or just left of Pure Cane.

Protection

5 bolts to mussey hooks.
