Description
This is the easiest slab climb at the Angle Iron Slabs. It is good for less experienced slab climbers. The starting crack has a sticker bush below it (ouch). After you climb the crack for a few moves, you transition to the slab on the left. The bolts are spaced out quite a bit, so a fall would not be good. A ways after the second bolt, there is a horizontal crack formed by a small overlap. Good pro can be placed here. Near the top, you can go up a protectable, small groove to the left or up a bush-choked gully to the right. Going left leads to the anchors very well. Like other climbs here, this one is easily toproped.
Location
This is the furthest right route at the crag. There is a low angle slab with a hanging slab above at the start. You begin in a crack before moving left onto the hanging slab. Descend from the bolt anchor at the top.
Protection
Two bolts and a rack up to a #2 Camalot. There is a two bolt anchor shared with It Matters Not.
