Description
Great movement on this route with the crux flowing early in the bolt section. You smear and edge on featureless granite through two bolts trending left on a sloping mantle to jug. Plug a cam and move up on easier climbing. Time to place another solid piece in a horizontal crack, and then finish through one bolt to awesome granite rail. Fourth class climbing follows to a great anchor with two rap rings.
Location
This is located immediately left of Black Death in a nice staging area.
Protection
Three bolts, C4 #3 and #4, plus draws and two longer slings.
