Description Suggest change

Although this route does technically start off the Transformer Ledge, it climbs much better from the ground as one full pitch. From the ground, start 10' right of Pepper Shaker and ascend the first obvious staircase chimney feature, which will put you onto the extreme left side of the Transformer Ledge. From here, stick clip a high bolt on the smooth face above the ledge. Step onto the large shelf in the bottom of the small dihedral and immediately stat working directly right onto the face. Just after the bouldery start and first bolt, get a medium size cam to your left in a hortizontal letterbox and then work up and right for a small to medium cam in a vertical slot. Continue straight up the face past another bolt, another small cam and a dicey finish. Use the same anchors as Bone Crusher.

Location Suggest change

Start at the very far left side of the transformer ledge and just right of the low chimney feature. Going up and left into the chimney is not as easy as it seems and puts you off route, making it difficult to transition back in.

Protection Suggest change

Small to medium sized cams
