Description Suggest change

This single-pitch route sneaks its way up between Stone Soup and Full Steam Ahead. Punctuated by good rests, this route offers a number of sections of intriguing climbing to the anchors.

Climb a left-leaning wide crack up to a ledge, the wide crack can take a #3 or #4 if you choose to protect it. From the ledge, make a delicate step right and clip the first bolt. Crimp through the next few moves up the face, passing the second bolt to the next good stance; there are good cracks available for gear placements from this ledge. Continue past another bolt and follow a leftward rising hand traverse to the left side of a well-defined buttress. Ascend/bear hug directly up the buttress and then back right to blocky features below a small overlap (avoid moving far right of the bolt as you will risk a bad fall and end up off route and on Full Steam Ahead). After a good rest, pull past an overlap (crux) and find a few more gear placements (save the #2 for here) as you finish up to the top.

The top anchors are steel perma-clips set for lower -off convenience. If you are going to top rope, please DO NOT use the perma-clips, use quickdraws as these prema-clips are not easy to replace. Watch this video if you need a more clear understanding:
