Description Kind of a forced line to the left of the Rapture. Edges, high steps, and arete climbing on a slightly steeper face than the Rapture. Worth doing if you are there.
Location Around the arete left of the Rapture.
Protection 6 + two silly bolts on the belay ledge + anchors. There are so many bolts strewn around this ledge.

| If you know the name or the FA party please leave a comment. Also, I graded it 5.8+ b/c it was a tiny bit harder than the Rapture, but I think both are quite soft. Edit: I edited the info above to reflect the accurate bolt count. |

| I've led this and also thought it to be on par with The Rapture in difficulty, 5.8ish. Not sure on the name or FA. |

| I led this over the weekend and enjoyed the climb. It was a nice surprise to see how protected the route was. It has about 5-6 bolts to the anchors at the top of The Rapture and has a nice crux at a roof. I would rate this a solid 5.8+ although it is a bit more scary to climb than The Rapture. |

| Less aesthetic than The Rapture but the moves are more fun and thought-provoking, and no harder (in my opinion). |
