Description 

A classic Rigaud climb, mostly sustained but never desperate.Right drifting sport route that is popular and often used for leading practice. Nice climb, lots of bolts, could be challenging for beginners, but not too tough for intermediates. Expect lots of traffic on weekends.

Location 

"Hightest" point before the free standing vertical boulder. Has a big pine tree very close to rockface... you can lean against it half way up ! Look for obvious right drifting line of bolts.

Protection 

Many bolts ( 8 or 9) .... every 5 feet or so up to anchors. Possible to traverse left after putting rope through anchors at the top to loop rope through the anchors on Sponge Bob 25 feet left. This allows to use same rope for both routes.
