Description Start 10 feet right of Gabby up an obvious, left-angling crack/slab. The crack get a little steeper up at the top. It crosses Gabby and shares 2 of its bolts at the mid point, and this is the crux, too. Knapp's book calls it 5.10c, but the photo here on MP states it is 5.9. It is more like 10c than it is 5.9.
Location It is 10 feet right of Gabby and left of Muscle Beach.
Protection 12 bolts plus anchor.

| This route deserves more attention and stars. I thought it was better than Axis of Evil, by way of example. Awkward crux, but nice. This line is a good combo of jamming and holds. |

| Really enjoyed this line!
Side question: Anyone know what the route directly to the RIGHT is? It follows the crack system up the wall, but I can't seem to find the route information anywhere. |

| Very fun climb! Awkward off-balance crux with a nice sense of accomplishment. Great finger locks! |

| Just heads up. The ENTIRE headwall is one HUGE, detached flake system. The anchors for this route are also placed in a large, detached block. The stuff seemed okay when banging on it while climbing, but it was still enough to make me not want to climb here again. It would be great if the anchor could be moved down to the main face just left of the crack onto solid rock. |

| This route was a fantastic way to end the trip to Shelf. Fun crack system and crimps all the way up moving to the left ever so slightly the whole way. |
