Description 

AKA: Kibbles and Bits.

A short, but sweet line up the left side of a randomly featured, face.

Begin off the ground up a steep, blank, slab to reach a very high section of edges and holds (A running start may be needed for some takers). Mantle this bulge feature and work left towards the very high first bolt. Continue up and left toward to the second bolt using a sparse amount of holds and careful footwork. Meet the crux near the third bolt using thin crimps, and misleading patina. Finish on positive holds up declining terrain.

A great line that is often skipped because of its high first bolt. If you're comfortable at the grade and/or have a solid head, this lead won't be an issue. Give it a whirl.

Location 

Directly left of Nipples and Clits and about 50 right of Carol's Crack. This is the first route on a face, just right of a break in the wall.

Protection 

3 bolts to 2 beffy chains.
