Description 

Great moves, beautiful position, stellar views, and warm afternoon sun make this climb worthy of its namesake. A few easy clips up a slab warm you up for the technical stemming crux, just below an obvious horizontal, followed by a steep layback sequence.

Location 

This is currently the leftmost route on the East Side of the Arena (the right, west-facing, wall as you enter from below). Head down a few feet from the saddle between De Spectaculus Tower and East Side, and scramble up and right to the belay ledge below the first bolt.

Protection 

9 bolts to 2 bolt anchor. Optional 2"-3" cam(s) can be used to anchor the belayer at the ledge.
