Description 

This is really a finish variation for pleasant st...When i read the description for Pleasant st it said to climb the arch till it was possible to continue up through it... So i accidentally climbed this route instead of that one... It should have said follow the arch till it is really easy to continue up over it...

Pitch one: 5.6R Same as Pleasant St... Climb the run out dike to the nice ledge...

Pitch 2: 5.8 Climb the first half of pitch 2 of Pleasant St... Look for a dike heading up through the arch with a pin about 15 feet up... Climb crimpy fun moves to some good holds and get some OK gear before getting to the OK pin... Continue up the dike with no more gear on better holds and over to the tree above Bombardment 5.8...

Could use a little traffic of a brushing to get it cleaned up... But its very nice...

Location 

Really just a variation finish for Pleasant St 5.7, that breaks up through the arch between the normal finish for that route and the Bombardment finish...

Protection 

normal rack, one fixed pin...
