Description
A series of well protected balance moves that begin in a shallow right facing corner on perfect Index granite. Good friction the whole way with a crux between the 2nd and 3rd bolt. The route ends with a reach to jugs through a dyke.
Entirely cleaned from decades of detritus in 2019. All bolts are stainless hardware and their condition 30 years later is testimony to placing quality hardware. Mysteriously, I found no fixed anchors during cleaning, just four bolts leading into oblivion.
Location
This climb lies at "Shady Lane East" This is the series of overlaps and amazing roofs encountered on the UTW trail just below the UTW proper. Break left (west) along the base of this wall through some ferns and a short water runnel, Class Action will be 100 feet from the UTW trail. Continuing along this trail for five minutes brings climbers to "Shady Lane West"
Protection
four bolts and SS anchor rings.

It used to be standard in these parts.
Thanks for the reclean job and installing the anchor. The mystery to me is why this great crag fell into disuse. Feb 5, 2019
