Description

Make a couple of balance slab/face moves to the first bolt. Go up a steeper section on awesome/jug pockets, turn a lip (1st crux) to a good stance, move up right into the inverted V-slot (2nd crux), then traverse out right over the fun, easy, and very pocketed slab. Move up on the arete/shallow dihedral, avoiding the cool looking, but precarious flakes/pockets to the left.

Overall, this is a very enjoyable climb with a variety of fun movement. The first 50+ feet are on quality (especially for for Clark Canyon) rock, the last 10 feet are less then stellar, especially directly above the little roof (stay right).

Location

At the very start/toe of Stone Wheat Thin Cliff is a burned/bifurcated tree with a low angle slab (diagonal crack/seam) to its left side. The route starts on the left side of the slab.
