Description
This is a cool route that climbs an unlikely-looking dead vertical face just right of Out of the Blank/aka the Ramp. The start is much harder than it first appears and is the route's crux. However, it is a safe route and well worth a go.
Climb the barely-there start to a good hold and clip the first bolt. This is reasonable to do with or without a stick clip. Continue up the steep and grippy wall on well spaced but reasonable holds to the 4th bolt. From here the climb follows a crack/rail out left past gear and then up to the last bolt. Move a ways left at the last bolt and mantel straight up onto the small belay stance of Jeep's route. The mantel is a bit nerve wracking but not too hard if you keep your wits about you.
Either continue up the "...into the Blank" or rap.
