Description

Mantle up onto a ledge and then standup and clip the first bolt. From here it's exactly 6 moves to the dyno throw to a sloper. Great pockets and incut crimps up a short steep wall.

This route may seem harder depending on your height so I've neglected to use the book grade of 11b and instead opted for a 5.11 grade.

This route was bolted in the unfortunate location of the common bathroom break for many a Orange Oswald climber.

Location

Walk to the end of the Orange Oswald wall, take a left and look immediately up and left and you'll find this short, burly route.

Protection

3 Bolts w/ Bolted Anchors
