Route Description
Head up Current Account, clip the anchors, and traverse left for a couple of bolts. Follow the obvious ledges and crack, continuing to trend left until the line heads upwards towards the chain. The runout from the last bolt to the anchors is about 30 feet, and it's not gimme climbing (I would say it goes at about 5.9/5.10 for that section -- not the crux, but still true to grade). There's a spot for a nut about halfway up, so this is technically a mixed climb, but you can do it as a sport route. Take a couple of deep breaths, fight the pump, and run it out to the chains -- the rock is bomber, the fall is clean, and you have a beautiful view of Barrier Lake.
