Description Suggest change

This is a sideways route on a short exposed section of the tier below The Lower Tier. You start on the dirt.  Then climb horizontally across the steep slab as the ground gets farther and farther away. Keep climbing until you reach dirt on the other side.  Can be done right to left or left to right.  

Use the blocky horizontal band of dark rock for holds and use the the vertical cracks along the way for nut placements.  Belay second  from other side.  Can be done as a very high boulder traverse. Spotter will have to move the pad along the whole route and a fall would still be nasty.  
This was the first of many other sideways routes in the canyon. The most visible is the tunnel traverse put up by tyler phillips down and left side of the road just past 9.99 wall. There is another short one up and left of fragment G. I think a tree was used to descend. 
Enjoy.
