Description
I had this as a variation to Motorboating but decided it should be posted separately. This a fun, well protected 4 bolt sport route just left of P1 of Motorboating. I bolted this back in the summer but never got around to leading it. I suspect someone saw the bolts and had led it by now.
Follow the obvious direct line left of the Agave Pitch. First bolt is a bit high but it’s fairly easy terrain to get to it. Work your way up steeping rock to a nice crack/pocket and then a big ledge. Do the "Shamu" and flop your way up over the crux mantle. From there, cruise up easy terrain to the anchors.
