Description Begin at the base of A Brief History of Time, but climb up and right in a scoop to the top of a semi-detached pillar. From there, follow the bolts up and right making several tricky slab moves. A nice addition to the wall.
This is the FOURTH sport climb down from the top, right-most climb:
Highest (most right), with the bolt on the lip of a small overhang: Wet Dreams
Nearly the same start: Gully Washer
20' below them, at the big pine tree, the crap climb up the trough with high first bolt: Route between Timeless and Gully Washer
20' farther down, this route.
Anyone have the name and first ascent info?
Protection 8? bolts. 10-12 quickdraws.

| Not sure if this is the same route I went up--not in the guidebooks yet. But the crux around bolt 6 in the black, water streaked pod felt way harder than 10.a. But I'm not a fan of slab, so who knows. |

| I thought that this climb was awkward also. The moves that made it close to 10a were not even in line with the bolts and I felt like I was off route half the time. Probably will not repeat this climb again. |

| This route is probably about right at 9+. IMHO, it's the move past the first bolt, which is a high step off a good right foot on granular, frictious crimps which is the crux. Stand that sucker up and you're good to go.
Also, it's listed in the guidebook as Timeless. |

| Climbed this route today on my first visit to the area. Eight bolts on the route, not ten as the guidebook states. I thought the crux was at about bolt 6, where the route steepens and handholds disappear. Had to step right into a scoop and reach back left to clip, then up. No trouble down low. Fun route, good rock. I,d do it again, even if just to see if I could stay more in line with the bolts. |

| 10ab. Good climbing although not too obvious. Guidebooks are a little hard to follow in this area |

| Does somebody have a picture of this climb? The current routes on the wall are not matching quite matching with Mountain Project. |

| The crux around the 5-6th bolts is quite hard. It's only 2-3 moves, but I think solid 5.10, maybe even 10+ by local standards. I think many people are doing the wrong route - this one is trivial for the first couple bolts. |
