Description The name says it all.Three Easy Pieces three bolts and lots of nice climbing for a short climb. This is my favorite climb at the Upper Vadar crag. The moves are fun and the holds are good for the most part.
A good first 5.11 if you are just breaking in to the grade (as long as you like steep stuff).
Location Climbs the far left arete. From the easier climbs walk down and left around the corner to the steep face follow the left-most line of bolts.
Protection 3 bolts to anchor. Stick clip the first bolt.

| I agree with you Lee, this climb is a good one for the 5.10 climber to use to break into the 5.11 grades. Its shouldery style and powerful pinch and pulling moves lend themself to the gym climber looking to become an outdoor 5.11 climber. |

| this is an awesome climb. It took a little creativity to get a good stance for the second bolt. |

| Where is the crux on this? by looking at the pictures it looks like it is before the steep stuff, am I correct? |

| "When I was strong" I used to think 11a was a little generous, but acceptable. Re-climbing it recently, I think it's a great route for anyone looking to break into 11's. For me, the moves coming around the corner (Photo) were the crux. The top is overhung, but on grity, big holds. |

| Equipped with big beefy ring bolts. Just wish it was longer. |
