Description 

Found to the left and around corner from the route Mongo Fury. Climbs small rib via small but positive holds up to large horizontal then up crystalline flake to crux mantle move and then final odd groove above. Route appears as only a number in guidebooks and is very short but well worth an on-sight lead attempt.

Location 

Found to the left and around corner from the route Mongo Fury. Next buttress back from and right of the "No Sweat" overhang route which is the first major climbable rock formation one comes to when walking up CCC trail from the East Bluff car park.

Protection 

Pretty good small cams in horizontals and small wires behind flake, Wires and cams in upper groove. First 8 feet has no gear to speak of so get a good spot.
