Description Climb atop a small ledge 10 ft up (probably the crux), be aware of the loose rock on the right. Follow the finger to hand sized crack to the anchors. In addition to the crack there are many small ledges. Although it is bolted as a sport route, this route protects very well traditionally if you skip the bolts.
Location This route lies in a corner left of Two Tone Zephyr about 200 yards to the right from the top of the approach trail.
Protection Bolts to an anchor or for the traditionally minded nuts, hexes, and cams to handsized. Please use your own hardware for top roping whenever possible.

| Nice Trad lead. Use a 00 TCU to protect the "mount-the-ledge-move" at the bottom then it is good nut and small cam placements to the top. I used a #4 camalot near the top where the cracks split. Remember it is bad form to use the two holes and to clip the chains before standing on the ledge. |

| Another great trad lead at the Bluff. Why is this bolted? |

Why don't you call Nicros and ask Nate what the heck he was thinking when he bolted this climb while developing this crag the year you were born. |

| The loose flake on the right of the crux has finally gotten pulled off. Makes this a much more strengthy crux and probably a legit 5.8 without the minus now. |
