Description
This is the groove/chute located 20 feet to the right of Last Light. Climb up low-angle discontinuous crack-like feature (placing gear) to a passage at steeper slot (crux). After the slot, clip first bolt, then continue up and a bit right to second bolt before veering left and up across to the anchor shared with Last Light.
The rock on this route is pretty questionable and there is a LOT of chossy junk and questionable holds pretty much all the way up. Having said that, you can enjoy a relatively safe ascent with some careful climbing to check for portable holds. It's easier than the McDowells guidebook rating.
