Description

Start Left of a big tree on easy terrain, follow fun mega-jugs along a traverse for 3 or 4 bolts, then up the face to the shiny new chain anchor. Good times! Crux is probably somewhere on the face. Listed as 10b in the Daneshyar guide, but its probably easier than that. Significantly easier than three hour tour.

Location

Skipper is currently the only route on the face opposite the side with Three Hour Tour/Swabbe/Salty Dog. Also possible to access the anchor from any of the other routes on the SS Minnow.

Protection

7 bolts, and a nice tree to lean on by the second bolt. 2 bolt anchor. There isn't really a great way to make the traverse at the beginning of this super toprope friendly.
