Description

Starts up slab to left of Mi Vida Loca's corner system. Another route starts here too (Don't Laugh 5.9), which splits left; this one splits right. I climbed the second pitch only after climbing Mi Vida Loca, but I could see pitch 1 was straight forward slab with good bolts. P2 goes straight up to a corner that takes some pro and then a bolt is just above the corner (hard to see it). Follow a few more bolts to the next anchor.

Location

Start from top of pitch 1 of Upper Traverse, following the bolt line just left of Mi Vida Loca (1-foot-tall right-facing corner).

Protection

pro to 1"
