Description

Interesting climbing on decent holds takes the mostly direct line up the El Camino Real face. Start from the large boulders halfway between Transcon and Roseland on crimps. Finish by climbing into the shallow open book below the anchor.

Williams' guide does not give this any stars, or even bold font. But it is a high quality route, and is worth doing.

Protection

There is a fixed gear anchor at the top. It appears that there is a significant runout at the start and the end. (I did not lead this, as it is above my pay grade.)
