Description

Start from the right side of the central cave just a few feet left of New Kids on the Block and trad climb the jug-filled corner past the giant chockstone and eventually to a 2-bolt anchor on the righthand side of a low-angle dihedral. Good route for a beginner leader, or as a warm-up. Probably the easiest route at Percha Creek.

Protection

A variety of gear can be placed throughout most of the route, mostly small and medium cams. Bomber Camalot #3 placement about halfway up.
