Description Smooth, solid rock with a thin crux section near the top. Face climbing on small edges. The first clip is fairly high, but the climbing to it is easier than the rest of the climb.
The location is beautiful.
South of the Trout Farm is found on the inside of the first corner of the gorge after the first bridge (coming from the parking northeast on Hwy 33). It will be across the creek from you as you round the corner.
Protection 5 bolts, 2 Supershuts for an anchor.

| One of the few routes at Wheeler that feels stiff for the grade. I'd call it solid 10a, compared to the other routes nearby. In other words, this routes feels a solid grade harder than Cruiser or Ezra. Nonetheless, the crux is short and very well protected. |

| Top anchor consists of 2 shiny new 1/2" Rawls with Fixe Supershuts (so nice!).
Special thanks to Erik Anderson. |

| Careful of the loose rock after the crux where some good right hands are.
edit: careful of loose rock in various parts actually. Easy to avoid, though. |
