Description Start under the overhang on the left side. The first bolt is a little run out but on easier climbing. Climb straight up to the first and second bolt. Then pull through a chimney feature near an old bird nest. After that, do a fun, 'very' exposed traverse for 20 feet to the prow. Then run it out up the ridge to the top for a chain anchor.
Location This route is located about 100-150 feet North from where the Nautilus Cave is. The route is on the left side of a large overhang.
Protection 5 quickdraws + anchor. Use a long, extended draw for the second bolt to help reduce rope drag.
Above the second bolt and crux.
| Just above the last bolt.
| @ the anchor... Amazing position for an easy climb...

| This is an awesome route. Your heart gets pumping the first time you negotiate the traverse. No single move is too hard, but the route offers a lot in a short period. |

| This is a fun route that is easier than it first appears. |
