Description

Edges and a pocket or two lead to an indentation; then follow glorious pockets through an overhanging bulge. Pockets disappear briefly at the top of the bulge; find the edges. Keep it together and don't use The Tree of Shame.

Update 2018: Tree of Shame has ceased to be. It is an ex-tree.

Location

Starts several feet or so to the right of a large tree. The first three bolts are on lighter gray rock below an obvious almost-ledge.

Protection

6 bolts, chain anchors.

[Hide Comment] What a great 5.10b to have in the canyon. This climb has a section of the fun movement of Teeanova, at a more accessible grade. It is great to have so much fun on a 5.10! Sep 22, 2013
[Hide Comment] Best route on the wall. Get it before the holds squeak like bowling balls. May 16, 2014
