Description Another Morning Glory moderate. This is a good alternative to the adjacent 5 Gallon Buckets if there are people on it. It is margially more difficult than its neighbor with a crux coming towards the top.
The route is found between 5 Gallon Buckets and Gumby on the huecoed section of the Morning Glory Wall.
Protection Route is protected by 6 bolts and a bolted anchor

| Fun climb. Slightly more difficult than five gallon buckets with some good edging up top. The new guide rates it .10a. |

| Really fun climb. Looks like it's rated a 5.9 if you start at 5 Gallon Buckets and move right (re: smithrock.com route guide and the watts guidebook), but if you climb straight up from under the anchors, the consensus seems to be a 5.10a (which I agree with). Fun start (when you get it). :)
It also seems like with the popularity of that particular area, it's good karma to climb the routes straight up, leaving bolts for the other routes free. |

| This is a great route if you're looking for something a little spicier than 5 Gallon Buckets. It gets the edging and crimping game warmed up for the rest of the delicate climbing in the Park. |

| Many people are confusing LOTP with The Outsiders (thanks to the original posting of this route). The Outsiders is the route that is adjacent to 5GBs - not LOTP! The pic on this page that the climber is on is that of The Outsiders. LOTP is one route right of The Outsiders & 2 routes right of 5GBs. LOTP is every bit a 10a. I wouldn't argue with a 10a/b rating. LOTP is significantly harder than 5GBs. |

| Good post from RodJ. The start is a bit tricky. I had to do a different sequence than the others I was with to get off the ground. |

| The series of crimps up top are tricky if you get sucked into going for the jugs out right. Very solid 5.10. |
