Description Suggest change

Start off of a cozy ledge (two bolt anchor) way out on the right edge of the low angle slabs. Head up easy featured rock to cross right at the top of Walleye to the base of the obvious steep crack. The fun begins and doesn't let up till the very end - sustained and exposed. You do get to go through the ominous and fun giant block tunnel. Lots of route finding pondering, but in general go straight up. There is now a dedicated anchor straight up the bolt line. If the ending doesn't seem obvious, after rolling on to the ramp clip the last bolt, make a move up right then step left onto the nice hold and make a couple slab moves up to the anchor.

When pulling the rope, it's advisable to do it from out on the slab to the left so the rope doesn't fall on to the giant block.

Location Suggest change

This is an upper face route that is to the left and parallel to Fish Tale. There is a distinctive crack lower down and a huge detached block higher up. The best start is off of a nice level ledge with bolt anchor about 80' up (Cozy Ledge), reached by careful walking out and down the low angle slabs from the Slanting Ledge. Can be started from the ground on Walleye.

Protection Suggest change

From the ledge, a single rack cams to #3 and 9 bolts. The #3 is optional. Via Walleye, gear and 14 bolts. If you want to skip the perched anchor up by the crack as pro, bring a few small nuts and microcams.
