Description
Start in the pod, then go up and slightly left to a thin, sloping stance. Pass the prominent orange spot, continue up a shallow groove toward the roof. Pass the roof on the right side (big holds), then angle up and left through the crux section (sustained steep slab/thin face for the next four bolts). Surmount the roof in the middle (5.7+), then head slightly left and up to a good ledge and mussy anchor.
This is a full 200'+ pitch! 12 bolts, optional (recommended) thin gear (green/gray aliens) for 2nd horizontal/shallow crack on upper slab. A bit longer and much more sustained than Silver Streak. Fairly tightly bolted at the crux sections, but a bit R on easier terrain.
70m rope and descend via rappel to anchor for 'Too Many Rules.'
Location
Look for a gold streak/shallow pod and orange patch, roughly 50' uphill from the start of JFMB, just right of 'Too Many Rules' (which has black bolts).
Protection
12 draws, optional (recommended) cams (green/gray alien size); mussy anchors; single 70m rope; 2 rappels (via 'Too Many Rules')
