Description
A fun and surprisingly varied slab route. Ease up a ramp up and right past two bolts. Then the climb steepens for the next and final two bolts (crux). A nice featured protrusion on the left opens up and offers many options for getting up this mini slabby runnel. Follow it until the angle eases for an easy romp to the chains.
Location
Can be accessed from "inside the canyon" after passing "sawdust and peanut shells" and "lion tamer" but may require a bit of scrambling. Better to approach big top from the west side, it's pretty obvious as it's one of two adjacent sport routes on the West end. This is the rightmost (south) of the two routes.
