Description 

This is a good route to do while waiting for some of the classics in the area to free up. It combines balancy moves with some so-so gear.

Begin in the flaired open book. Climb straight up, clip a bolt, then head out left a hair (short but thoughtful crux), gaining the broken slot that takes some good gear (the rock is a little hollow, though). Clear the small bulge, pulling onto the slab above. Continue up the easy slab above to the shared chain anchors for the adjacent two routes.

Location 

At the height of the hiking trail that taken you to the far left end of the cliff, is a flaired open book/groove. This is the start.

Protection 

Small gear, plus a #3.5 and a #2 Camalot for the broken slot.
