Details

Please refrain from blocking the road, yield to oncoming mining vehicle traffic, and be careful of rockfall and icefall. Please share the road to minimize future access issues with the road's multiple user groups.
Description
It's called 18 because you need 18 draws, plus something for the anchor.
Scramble off the road, and clip the first bolt. A hard-ish move (another clip) gets you to a ledge. The next bit is easier. Climb to under the obvious roof (lay-down rest here), and then fire the crux to the top.
Beware of ropedrag climbing onto the ledge at 2/3 height and into the roof.
This route is part of my effort to add some well-protected, bolted, MODERATE mixed routes to the Camp Bird area.
A note on the grade: I honestly would rate this M6, but when directly compared to the grades of other M-routes at Camp Bird, it is M7+ or maybe M8, but in my opinion those routes are all really overgraded. That's why I have M7-8 as the grade.
There is a 2-bolt anchor set up for lowering or rappeling.
Location
This is to the right of Thirteen on the buttress between Slip Sliding Away and Slippery When Wet. This is right of the road and the bolts should be visible shining in the sun.
