Description An exciting, well-protected line following a natural weakness up a steep quartzite face.
Fun face climbing with sidepulls, small crimps, optional slopers, and mostly small, somewhat tricky footholds.
Starts with jugs and big feet and quickly changes to thinner climbing after the first bolt. After the fifth bolt it's back to jugs and easy cruising to the anchors.
Protection 5 bolts, double-ring anchors.
Location This route is found on the right side of the Black Rose area, and is the left of the two bolted lines.

| I wonder what this was like back in the day...back before it had bolts. Or did it always...? |

| I thought this climb was tons of fun. I just wish it were twice as long. |

| really fun climb but its really short. crux was the 4th bolt for me. on top rope i went right over but positioning for clipping took me a few. |

| Doing this again, I agree, the crux is getting to the fourth bolt, the only spot where there aren't really good holds in the crack. This climb is a lot of fun. |

| Great climb. the foot holds are small but are useable. the crack is great for a left hand hold and once you get past the crux (which is around the 4th bolt) there are gorgeous hand holds towards the top. very fun climb |

| The little block at the start (at the top of the double cracks) is a little wobbly. |

| My first lead of this season. This used to be one of my favorites but it had me nervous this year. Ever come back and wonder if all your winter training did any good? The wobbly hold still seems pretty solid. |

| Great but short. The crux is a little disconcerting getting to the fourth bolt. I've found that if you just move confidently and quickly you can get your hand to a better hold and then clip it with ease but it involves getting higher than most people might be comfortable with. |

| The loose block is still holding strong. We've climbed this one a lot in the past month. The crux has been beating me over and over and I finally got it clean today!
(SPOILER ALERT!) for me I ended up smearing that right foot and instead of trying like crazy to hang onto that right-hand nub simply move your right hand left into the crack above the bolt, clip when you can after you get more steady. Seen lots of folks struggle with this one, lots of falls on it, and I've taken 2 myself! |

| Great warm up for those just getting back into lead climbing. Really fun crux section at the fourth bolt. |

| Fun slab climbing, if that's your thing. Thin hand holds; good foot work and some nerve-wracking smearing will get you to the top. Good bolt placement, all new, shiny hardware. Is in the shade during July until around Noon. After that it's exposed and hot, time to move up the canyon to some of the shady crags. |
