Description 

This is a nice, often overlooked, route in this area. Stick clip the first bolt. Climb up passing the first bolt to reach a shallow, short, right facing dihedral. Make a few stemming moves and continue up the face and mantle up on to a large stance in the middle of the route. Clip the bolt above the ledge and head straight up the bulge on a few crimps to reach a slot from which to clip the bolt at the lip of the bulge (crux). High step and rock up to gain a stance. The climbing eases up to the finish.

Location 

This is the sport route located just to the right of Leave It to Jesus, 5.11c.

Protection
