Description 

Climb straight up and then make a difficult traverse left to gain the 2nd bolt (hard to clip, crux). From here, go straight up aiming for positive holds on the black face above. This route felt hard for the grade. I assume a few key holds may have been damaged from the rockfall on the neighboring Ginsu. Nice climb though!

Location 

Walk along the trail approximately 20 ft right of the start of Flying Off the Handle, 5.12b. Start at the pile of rubble (note the bolt in one of the blocks on the ground, the block fell off of Ginsu, 5.11c).

Protection 

4 bolts, shuts on Slap Happy, 5.12c.
