Description

Awesome route pulling on beautiful edges up the zodiac boulder. This climb sites immediately left of Lode Stone. I've started it by traversing in slightly from the right of going straight up the blank slab. Either way, get to the headwall of cool edges and straight up to the top

Location

On the SE face of the zodiac boulder. I think there's some spray paint near the bottom.

Protection

There is a boulder that you would bounce off if you fell, so pad the boulder and below and spot from below. The first time I did it, I asked my spotter as I was up on the thin headwall, "What if I fall?". He replied and said, "...Just don't fall". Bad question - Good advice.
