Description This is a deceiving climb that looks like a slab but overhangs.
Protection Eight bolts to the anchor.
Location Per Kevin Neilson: It's right of Where the Wild Things Are and left of Stocking Stuffer.

| More like .10d. |

| Hi Mike, No argument from me here. Maybe even 11a unless you avoid the crux. |

| This route has the weirdest optical illusion. From the ground, it looks like a 85* slab, but it actually overhangs about 3 feet in 40. |

| This route is at almost at the far right end of The Dungeon. It's right of "Where the Wild Things Are" and left of "Stocking Stuffer". It is a bit overbolted and so covered in lichen that it looks as if it has never been climbed since the FA. It is worth doing, though, and has a challenging crux. The move right off the ground can be a little challenging. Loc: 39˚20.983'N 104˚45.566'W Alt:6540' goo.gl/maps/l0hL2 |

| Felt soft to me for a .10d. This, plus a ton of bolts, would make this a good climb for someone looking to lead their first 10+. |
