Description Suggest change

Begin just below a crack in a lieback feature up a slab to a good, flat ledge. Place some finger-sized cams until you can work up a bit to clip the first bolt - it is best to use a quickdraw with locking carabiners. Moving left past the first bolt is .11a/b. A green or purple Camalot helps between bolts four and five. The crux of the climb is traversing between bolts six and nine, as there are multiple .11+ cruxes, but decent rests are sprinkled throughout. During the traverse, don't climb high into the tempting crack, but stay slightly below the bolts.

AKA "Lock it for Wayne". Wayne Crill was seriously injured making a FFA attempt on this route with Greg Miller on August 9, 2014 when his rope unclipped from not one but two pieces of protection as reported in Accidents in North American Mountaineering (conclusion: locking carabiners would have averted the accident). With Wayne and Gregs' permission the route has been bolted. Please, keep Wayne in your prayers.

Location Suggest change

It is just left of Young, Blond, and Easy.

Protection Suggest change

Bring a 60m rope. Clip 10 lead bolts and a two bolt anchor. Bring one each of Metolius #1-#3 for the start and one green or red Camalot between bolt four and five. A shoulder runner on bolt four helps reduce drag.
