Description

The route has an old school first bolt followed by a piton in the horizontal crack. Newer bolts finish the route out. Fun right palm push at the first new bolt at the start of the tough. Palm and stem the upper trough to the achors.

Location

Walk east (right when looking at the wall) past the three log "benches" and slightly down hill for about 50 feet. This route is the second bolted line from the right. Look for the old angle iron style first bolt.
