Description

This route is listed as "unknown 5.8" on the main page for the Pool Wall. It's a fairly short route but has good sustained difficulty the whole way. The crux is perhaps between the first and second bolt before mellowing out a bit toward the top.

Location

It is in between Keep On Keepin' On and Corner Pocket on the right side looking up the rocky gully.

Protection

3 bolts to a two bolt anchor with chains. The chains form a pretty extreme angle when set up for rappelling down, and extending them would put less strain on the bolts.
