Description 

Classic route, definitely worth climbing even though the approach is a bear. Pro is plentiful, but you might find the slab soaked since typical weather in the area is wet, wet, wet.

Location 

Find the Aurora Slab and you've got the route pegged. It follows the left-hand edge of the slab, in a large dihedral.

Protection 

Gear to two inches.
Anchor is a large knotted cordellette in a crack and a fixed nut, as of 2009
