Description 

Stick clipping the first bolt is highly recommended. The crux is getting to and past the first bolt and falling here would be ugly. The climber needs to be careful not to kick their belayer while starting the route. It's very balancy. The anchors are a bit hidden from below but obvious once you pull the ledge.

Location 

On the upper level about Beta Spewers. From the top of the trail, walk left to access the upper level and then traverse right being careful to not rocks on those below. A set of belay anchors below a blunt arete mark the start of the route.

Protection 

6 bolts to anchors
