Description The historic first sport route to get bolted in Safe Harbor. Little pockets, sometimes sharp, and just enough holds for fun, thoughtful climbing. Left-hand pocket used to get to the not-as-good-as-you'd-like horizontal near the top had a piece break off on Sunday. Was a little wet/dirty inside, and somewhat sharp, but usable. Crux was right at the top for us. My partner worked up the arete to the right and had a tricky step left to get to the anchors. I stayed in the corner, eventually getting a hand out/up left, then a heel to get settled. I then came up and right to the anchors.
Protection 6 bolts to anchors.

| I honestly believe this line would be popular at any sport climbing destination anywhere. It's hard to believe it's on a railroad cut. |

| I have to disagree Seth, I think this route is one of the more overrated routes at Safe Harbor, both in terms of difficulty and quality. |

| No disagreement about the grade being soft but i'm sticking by my story that it's a rad route. |
