Description

This route shares a start with Scenic Byway but takes the rightward trending crack in a dihedral. The first pitch is kind of dirty and leads to an alcove where you can belay, the second pitch is cleaner, but still not that great. The second pitch climbs to a roof then traverses left to a bolted anchor. The crux of the route felt like the final traverse to the anchor.

Location
