Description

It's everything a moderate climber needs; jugs, small crystals, cracks, and smears.  Start by stepping up onto the small ledge and clipping the first bolt.  Work your way up the flake placing a stopper to get to the second bolt.  Continue up the bolt line to a horizontal crack that takes great gear.  Continue to work your way up the bolt line to another horizontal where gear can be placed if desired.  One more bolt to the top anchors.  Don't let the gear scare you, it's well protected especially at the crux.

Location

Down hill from the Spine, it's to the left of Morning Wake Up Call.

Protection

8 bolts, large nuts, and cams up to a .75 BD. 2 bolt top anchor.

[Hide Comment] This is a nice route with some variety. A 0.3 BD cam is handy between bolts 2 and 3. Jun 2, 2023
