Description This route starts 30 feet right of the route entitled Mountain Rose, which is the first route on the Mountain Rose East Crag. Climb a steep face to a prominent bulge at 40 feet. Pull through the crux on small crimps, and deadpoint for a jug. Easier climbing leads to the anchors. It is a good warm-up for the routes on Frisky Cliff, which is west of the Mountain Rose crags.
Protection 7 bolts; 2 bolt anchor.

| I don't feel like this is .12a. There is a good rest when you move left over the arete before the steep section. Due to this almost no hands rest, you can get everything back before the crux, which is quite short. This makes it closer to .11c/d. Still a fun route though. However, if you stayed to the right of the bolts the whole time and skipped the very obvious rest to the left, this climb would be .12a. |

| Definitively 12a, no doubt about it, but every route in Boulder Canyon has to be downgraded by someone. |

| Great route at kind of an obscure crag. Worth the effort though. Cool movements on pretty solid beautiful granite.... |

| Granite is not that solid. I broke holds on every route on this wall including this route on the bullet looking lower portion. |
