Description
First climbed this as an approach to Booty Call back in 2015. I led the slab and continued up Booty Call all the way to the anchor for one long pitch. I climbed with a saw and cut back enough brush (while on lead) to access the climbing. Additional pruning was done when we rapped off. In 2023, came back with Doug and we spend hours cleaning lots of deadfall which had accumulated in the gulley since forever. We also trimmed the Rhododendron back away from the rock. All this deadfall and brush spilled out onto the slab inhibiting access to the route. The idea was to create a nice way to approach to the base of Booty Call. Once we cleaned the slab and added bolts, this line turned out to be a decent moderate as a stand alone route.
