Description Suggest change

This route is the second bolted line right of Portent, and is easily identified because the first bolt is about 35 feet off the ground.

Climb up to a 5.10a angled crack (gear) that leads to the first bolt using some awkward jams. After the first bolt a couple of pieces protection should be placed in the crack before pulling a  5.10d bulge. Missing this move is NOT fun (my shoulder still hurts, I scared the hell out of some hikers when Jared let me down bleeding profusely) due to the slab that sits below this move.

After the first bulge, climb a second 10d bulge past three more bolts.   A hidden hold makes this section reasonable. after the last bolt the climbing is a little run out, but easy.  The top anchors are shared with The Wet Kiss (5.9).

Protection Suggest change

Mixed Route. 4 bolts, with supplemental 1.5-3" pro and some slings needed in two sections.
