Description 

An old Ohran project that was open for many years. This route is the direct start into the Mucker (number 14 on the topo). The rock is good and the moves are quite powerful.
Belay in the alcove and use the directional bolt down low to keep the rope out of the way. Clip the first 3 bolts from an undercling, then step down to reverse your hands to start the route. The first few moves off the deck make up the bouldery crux. The 4th clip is difficult and close to the ledge, so make sure your belayer is aware of this. Two more moves and you're into the Mucker.

Location 

Starts left of Roughneck and right of Ditchdigger/Mucker.

Protection 

9 bolts to chain anchors.
