Description

A runout bolted face climb on quality stone to the right of At Your Pleasure (5.8). Most of the hardest moves on the route are decently protected, but falling from anywhere except right at a bolt could be disastrous, especially considering the long hike out. 30' + groundfall potential getting to the second bolt. A fun line though, and easy enough to TR if you're not feeling up to the lead. The crux may be a height-dependent/reachy move past the third bolt.

Location

Starts on the large ledge near the middle of Upper Walt's Rocks, about 40' right of the start for At Your Pleasure (5.8).You can rappel down this route/set a TR by climbing AYP first.

Protection

4 bolts protect nearly 80' of climbing. This is NOT a sport climb, though it is equipped with a bolted rap anchor. An optional small-med cam can be placed before the third bolt.
