Description This route starts about 80 feet to the right of Ezra (5.9+) on a slightly overhanging face right over the water. The crux is the first 15 feet: think bouldery, think slick, polished feet.
(*) High water would make the start very tricky, if not impossible.
Protection Bring four quickdraws and there are two cold shut anchors at the top.

| Mike, that's not true (maybe on this site). I bolted it and climbed it on the same day. Great rock, actually, but a bit short, hard to start, and often underwater. The crux is the very first move, as I recall. I had to dry a foot that is perpetually wet before each try. If you pull through the first move it's 5.11 A0. |

| Great little route...Im glad Mr. Edwards is able to chime in from the SLC :]
Super good rock, cool bouldery start, and well placed bolts make this a perfect first 12 for someone. |

| Ditto. This was my first 5.12. And yes, per Mr. Edward's comments, I had to dry a certain critical foothold. Think: bouldering with a rope. |
