Description 

This route is a couple of routes left of Little Mecca when you are facing the Contest Wall.It is tucked into a little corner with 2 routes - on the left is Turbo Road (11d) and on the right is Cattle Prod.

Van Horn's book gives this 11b/c, but I can't see why - this can't be any harder than 11a.

Anyway, the climbing is reasonably interesting and worthwhile.Starts out tricky between the first 2 bolts, then eases up, then gets tricky and a little steep up high (crux).Stay out of the crack/corner to the left to keep this route 11ish.

Protection 

6 bolts to anchors.
