Description

Fun face climbing that is now safer to enjoy thanks to recent retrobolting of the original line (updated 2021 details provided first; original MP description follows below). Start climbing at the left quarter of the main wall just right of the large oak tree growing out of a detached flake. Face climb straight up 10' then slightly left, following the bolted line. Crux is at mid-point of climb at the red-tinted 6' vertical face. Stainless anchor rings.

(OP description: Start at the left side of the main wall near Spring Fever and just right of the trees. Scramble up a small rock or climb the short dihedral and traverse left to the dike. Follow the dike up to the ledge, then reach a high bolt. Pull the crux bulge and aim for the next bolt and then for the anchor.

The old guide claims there were 3 bolts, however I could only find two. The hardwear is due for an upgrade and should have 5 bolts plus the anchor.)

NOTE- See comments on retro bolt of the climb.
