Description 

A great line of pumpy 2 & 3-finger pockets, slightly overhanging & very continuous.

Begin from a short cheater tower with the left hand in a cool bowling ball 2-finger pocket. Make a big move to a mailslot, then follow big sequential pockets up & eventually right to a flake. Move back left to a square pocket below a brown bulge & an awkward shake. Work over the bulge to a big hole and another rest. Move right, then up to a horizontal break. Move left & up the tricky "slab" to the anchor.

Location 

~100yds from the left end of the cliff is a broken area with some discontinuous dihedrals. This is the 2nd route after this break.

Protection 

~8 bolts to 2BA. Stick clip recommended.
