Perfect rock, perfect weather, great friends: What...

Description 

Face climb (easier than it looks at first, 5.8) to a left leaning hand crack providing welcome pro. At its end, clip a bolt and make intriguing moves on small holds (crux) to pass the harder section, then a 2nd bolt. Ascend a water groove (5.7R) placing pro in 2 diagonal cracks that cross this groove on your way to the 2bolt anchor. Really cool fins and big holds in this section, but the runout is 25' so you've still got to keep your focus. Welcome to TP 5.10s.

Note that all climbing harder than 5.8 is well protected on this climb, but runout on 5.7.

I'm not sure on FA info; let me know if you are.

Location 

Toward the right end of Mosaic Rock, at the South/SE corner, behind a pine tree: you can see the left leaning hand crack that begins about 8' up. Soon after this route, the cliff faces more south east than south I suppose. It's the next climb left of the Baby Cakes flake.
Rap the route with a 60m rope from the 2bolt anchor with chains. You could walk off if you wanted to, but it would be slower.

Protection 

Standard TP rack: 1 set cams to 2", 1 set nuts, nothing tiny or big needed. 2 bolts protect the crux 5.10 moves. Ends at a 2 bolt anchor.
