Description 

Near the right side of the wall, a route starts from a ledge 10 feet off the deck and follows a seam up past two blocks. Start by scrambling up crap rock past a bolt to the ledge.If you traverse left near the top to avoid the final crux, you are cheating.

Other than the crappy scramble to the base of the route, I think this route is as good as anything else I've done in the canyon. The movements involved in this route are outstanding.

Really fun route. I went left at the top and it is a little easier than forcing myself on to the holds on either side of the bolt. John you probably should have bakerized it a bit more to the right if you really want us to climb there. I didn't really go that far left as I used the left most holds with my right hand.
