| After climbing this fun route, use the top rope to check out a possible new route just to the right. |

| The location of the last bolt makes it hard to decide how to finish. I traversed left into the crack finish of Blue Collar Ape, my partner went right to the arete and followed it to the top. Either way, except a bit of looseness. The face moves down low are excellent and getting out on the face technical and spicy.
If you're into that kind of foolery you can do a direct start a few feet right of the bolt line in a tips crack. Green C3 and thuggy moves will get you on the ramp. Beware of the prickly stuff. |

| hmmm, maybe I was tired at this point but I found the crux around the 2nd bolt to be pretty hard for a 10a. Good climbing though - take care clipping the first bolt (awkward) and 2nd bolt (big fall potential). |
