Description Suggest change

This is currently an anomaly in the Bay Area, a spectacular 4 pitch Sport Route! Start on either Standard Issue or White Flag as the 1st pitch.

P2- 5.10b: Head up the vertical huecos/pockets on the red wall above the belay, then up easier block rock eventually heading slightly left to the anchor.

P3- 5.11b: Up easy rock till the overhanging headwall on steep crimps and big moves between good pockets, sidepulls, and underclings. Clip the Leeper bolts that are painted black (line used to be an oil aid bolt ladder) but don't sweat it it, as there are closely spaced regular bolts nearby! Tackle the final bulge on huge holds and then traverse left to anchors.

P4- 5.10b: The final pitch is super featured and fun up an increasingly vertical wall to just slightly overhung right before the crux and the anchors.

To finish the route either rap the route, or clamber over the top, protecting using the extra "safety bolt" added above the P4 anchor, on the lip. Walk off to the East.

Location Suggest change

This is the main line up the center of the longest vertical section of the cliff.

Protection Suggest change

Numerous solid FIXE bolts and, where necessary, newer glue-in bolts.

All anchors are glue-ins with rappel hardware.

Top-out on P4 has a "safety bolt" to protect the scramble from the below-lip anchor to the plateau
