Description Great route with neat start up incipient finger crack for start. Fun featured moves up bolt line to chain anchor. Watch lowering of cord from anchor and or pulling rope after route as it has potential to get stuck in crack to left.
Location Route directly right of mid-crag pinnacle. Easily identifiable by rock face to left of finger crack. SCSG 3rd edition topo route 764 - description 765.
Protection 7 bolts to chains

| This is the best moderate line on Boyscout, IMHO. There are several interesting ways to solve the start/crux and it is the most sustained moderate on this wall and truest to its rating. |

| I concur with Bill. Just to note, there is a nice 2' x 3' ledge just below the rap chains. I set up a belay station and practiced bringing up a second (preparing for multi-pitch) ... great place to try it, but highly recommend using a redirected belay. |

| Great crux at the beginning. Our group solved it in two different ways. Tons of jugs all the way up. This as an awesome spot for climbers beginning to lead. |

| For some reason, Southern California Sport Climbing guide rated this .10a. I agree with the .9 rating... |
