Description 

Malcolm route is a good route to warm up on and get a feel for the area. A fun start with little pro (optional thin piece) leads to a well protected fun slab route. Even though the route isn't a super classic it is probally climbed more than any other route.

Location 

From Gasoline alley you turn a corner And there is a giant slab. start at the very edge of the right arete and traverse left into the face. The bolts just to the right are sleeper 5.10c.

Protection 

You can do these with only 2 quickdraws and some stuff for the anchor if you don't mind having a pretty big run out. Otherwise bring some small stuff for the bottom part.
