Description

This is a great little route!  Spicy to lead if this is close to your limit. There is some protection available, but not lots of it, and maybe not exactly where you would like it. Probably on the soft side of the "R" rating. Bring a rack of stoppers and small to medium cams. It is easy to toprope from the bolted anchor on top. You may want to clip the bolt for a directional. Pretty obvious line about 10 feet to the right of Sidewinder. Climb a crack system to a single bolt up near the top. 

Location

10 feet to the right of Sidewinder, which is the farthest left route at the crag.

Protection

Stoppers, small to medium cams, and one bolt at the top. 2 bolt anchor to belay from or lower off.
