Description "Professor, what's another name for Pirate Treasure?" "well I think it's Booooooty-B-B-booooottttty yep thats what it is"

This route starts on some rust colored streaks. The 2nd bolt can seem high, just remember those jugs are good! Keep you footwork together and sequence to make the slipmer moves to a rest. Shuffle along the shelf going left, at the end are some wild sculpted chickenheads. Climb up and right using more memorable chickenheads to the anchor. WILD!
See topo.
Location The route starts at the top of the hill (which often is full of Thistle). Find a flat spot kicked in the hill for the belay.

| Overhanging granite jug hauling is an uncommon thing in the Wasatch. |

| Got a sweet handjam and high feet and skipped the sloper. Awesome pitch, slightly shitty belay. No loose rock anywhere on the route. |

| I spent at least a good 10 minutes trying to figure out how to skip the sloper; Daniel, you must have a wingspan matching LeBron’s. A really good route; kudos to the FA. By the way, what’s the line just to the right of Pirate Treasure? I’d say it's 11a, two stars (and advise taking microcams). |
