Description
If you need to get your friction-climbing head together, this is a good warm-up for some of the harder lines at Currahee. That having been said, Pepsi isn't an easy romp for the grade; like many another slab route, the crux is down low, and there's no pro in the first 40' or so.
Make delicate friction moves through the start, then continue up on easier ground, passing one bolt about midway, and follow a crack to the top.
Update to reflect the fact that there are two bolts now.

Location
Starts near the bottom of the descent gully (left end of the Slab Wall), just left of Deprived Child.
Protection
Small gear; two bolts. Bolted anchors at the top. NOTE: This route is longer than it looks, so unless you have a 70-meter rope, take long slings or webbing to extend the anchor for toproping.
Suggested change: there are now two bolts on this route, protecting the slab at the beginning of the route.
