Description
Begin this route by climbing to a high first bolt and then continue up grainy friction past three more bolts, the last one being above the dike. Bolted anchor/rap on top.
A fun climb that would be even better were the rock quality better. Still, not a bad route and a recommended climb if in the area and wanting to do a slab route.
Location
From the Split Rocks parking area follow the climber's trail west, aiming for a large formation with a diagonal dike running across it.
The route lies on the far right side of the formation and is the first climb encountered when approaching the wall. To the left is The Woodshed, an obvious vertical crack starting with face moves.
