Description Suggest change

Move up to a good stance at the left facing corner (crux - harder if you use the pockets/cracks on the face). Pull moves up to another good stance below the bulging rock. Move up past 3 bolts to some easier ground. Trend right and up past a gear placement or two and up to the last bolt (extended draw helpful). Move right from the bolt and up to overhanging, left-facing corner. Climb the face/corner up to the Kauffman-Cardon ledge and belay.

Great link-up to Bee Sting Corner.

You could also step left on the ledge before the 4th bolt to a two-bolt anchor that's pretty much at the start of Dufty's Popoff. Makes for another nice link-up.

Location Suggest change

Start is about 20-25 feet right of the start of Skyline Traverse, just behind a small tree. Look for a small left facing corner and thin cracks/pockets on the face.

Descend from the rap/belay station at the top of the pitch or continue up Bee Sting Corner or Kauffman-Cardon.

Protection Suggest change

4 bolts plus gear placements. Ends at the Kauffman-Cardon rap/belay anchor.
