Description Climb up talus to start, crank past the initial hang, and climb the face above. In light of the fall potential, and a choice of holds, some worse than they appear, getting the high first bolt may be precarious? Climb to the 2nd bolt, where most tend right to features, before moving back left to the belay.
Protection 3 bolts, 2 bolt anchor.

| I have received word that it's likely this route needs an upgrade. It's 5.7 rating in the guidebook is apparently a mistake and this route falls more in the hard 5.9 region. |

| well it was no mistake in the guidebook. Thats what my friend Jim and I rated it when we fist bolted it. I never thought it was 5.9. Sustained 5.7 maybe..or possibly 5.8. All others that day agreed 5.7 as well. Perhaps some holds have broken off? |

Definitely possible. Mark Pell and I were talking about it. I've always struggled on this route and felt it was really hard. Hell, I bailed on it today! =P |
