Description
A fun romp up great rock with a variety of climbing and protection options.
4 lead bolts supplemented with a selection of cams/nuts and slings.
Start up the 4th class ramp below Shake the Flake (etc) and follow weaknesses past that route up 5.6-ish terrain to the ledge and belay.
Second pitch climbs up the shallow right facing crack then past four well-spaced bolts to a shallow crack and buried pillar feature which takes protection and ends in a stumpy protrusion that can be slung. Shallow crack and face features lead to the bolted belay/rappel anchor atop the route.
Fun!
