Description
As the name implies good route finding and astute choice of holds avoids choss and enhances route quality and the fun factor. Begin left of the large hueco on stellar holds on the orange patina plates. Clip the 1st bolt and continue up using the plates for hand and foot holds until a mantle leads to a stance atop the patina plates, being careful of the hollow exfoliated gong-like flake above. If you must use the hollow flake to complete the mantle gently pull down and not out. There's not much holding that "flake" in place. Move left onto the face and climb up on good edges and crimps on a broad black pillar to the anchor. Poor route finding or choice of holds could lead to a choss master's paradise.
