Description The route goes right up the center of the ruckman cave almost directly ahead of the trail. It goes up to a two bolt anchor a few feet below the large roof. Follow pinches up the wall, with good clips. Sequence is hard to follow 3/4 of the way up.
Protection 6 bolts to a two bolt LO.

| the last clip is not easy!!! better to take the big whip than to hang the draw. |

| I always enjoy this route. I think the last clip adds to the route. Isn't half the fun of climbing in the challenge? Just think of clipping this bolt as the crux. |

| Great route, super "primer" for harder routes in the park... |

| A large chunk of rock fell off this last week. The piece that is missing was used as a foot hold in the crux. The route still goes at 12b, but it is a little trickier for your feet. |
