Description 

"Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain...
Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one here who gives a sh#t about the rules?"

Around the back side of the same formation as Shomer Shabbas (5.10a), pull up onto a short overhanging arete which doesnt quite reach the ground. After 10 or 15 feet, transition right into the slabby, concave "dihedral". Slabby, stemmy moves lead to the top.

Some fun moves and decently long (for the Playground), unfortunately the rock is very soft and sandy here. May clean up with more ascents, but probably not ever worthy of sporting lead bolts. Best left as a TR.

Location 

Around the back side of the formation with Shomer Shabbas (5.10a). Approach the anchors as per that route, then walk south along the top of the formation to another set of anchors.

Protection 

2 bolt anchor (1/2").
