Description This is the first route to the left of Granny Goose. Pull onto the face above an overlap and make thin moves up past three bolts. Some pro can be had past the last bolt to ease your mind. Easy descent down the north face (towards the Lost Horse Road).
Protection 3 bolts, pro to 3" for anchors

| TR ascent - took 2 slides near the bottom. Found the climb to be challenging to say the least, not to mention painful on the toes! Decent enough movement, decent enough climb. I would agree that 10c might be a little generous, however, as 10b4me says, it may be a technique issue on my part. |

| Could feel myself sliding downwards on every move past the first two bolts - maybe I need to new rubber, or new hobby.... |
