Description 

This climb is on redgarden wall, on the West side trail just uphill from Mister Natural, which is before the wooden stairs. In fact, it is so close to Mister Natural, that you could consider it contrived.

None-the-less, I enjoyed playing on it. The holds are mostly small and insecure.It seems like a good place to work on using thin Eldo holds, unless there is a troop of kids already on Mister Natural, which is a frequent phenomenon.

The route climbs up the face immediately left of Mister Natural. If the route feels too easy, or you are near the arete to the left, you are on Captain 4Q, and thus, off route. It ascends about 40' to the rap tree on Mr. Natural.

Protection 

This is a route TR'd from the Mister Natural Anchor. I do not know if it has been lead, but I doubt it. Consider this a TR, as specified in R. Rositer's book.
