Description Suggest change

Climb to the first bolt about 20' off the ground. Between the first and second bolts there is an old piton with a ring. Per Bruce Hildenbrand: this piton can be backed up with 3/8"-3/4" sized cams in several places. There are only 6 (per Bruce Hildenbrand) bolts on this route, and they may appear a bit runout. There are two cruxes: between the first and second bolts, and after the [sixth] bolt climbing over the overhang towards the anchors which should be climbed to its right hand side owing to the presence of at least one relatively large chockstone on the left hand side of the overhang. This chockstone appears loose and may be quite dangerous until it has been crowbarred out and trundled to the bottom. When toproping, avoid having the rope drag over the chockstone and possibly dislodging it. Also, BEWARE LOOSE ROCK on this route at other locations, as this route has seen little traffic to date. The climb can be exited below the overhang by moving right towards the anchor for Westward Expansion. There is a nice view of Hallett Peak to the west from the top of this route.

Location Suggest change

This route is located on the right-hand side of the long slab on the left side of the Slabosaurus area.

Protection Suggest change

6 (per Bruce Hildenbrand) bolts, 1 old piton, and 2 twist anchors. Per Bruce Hildenbrand: you can use several 3/8"-3/4" cams to back up the piton.
