Location Climb the 5.8 crack, Weight and Balance Check P1 or the 5.7 corner just to the right. This route starts left of Weight and Balance Check in between the wall and the pillar.
Protection 1 bolt, Standard rack to 3"

| This route is just ok. It really is just one move right at the bolt followed by some 5.6 climbing. |

| Agreed with Wes, a bit of a one move wonder. It is better done as one long pitch, combined with the 8 crack down below, this makes for a more worthwhile jaunt. |
