Description

The bottom 3/4s of this route is 3-stars great. It is very similar to its neighbors to the left and has probably 5.10+ ish climbing.

The top is a 1-move wonder. Once at the roof encounter, the bolt is easy to clip. There are some sharp holds, and a sharp sidepull flake is available to slice up your fingers. Figure out how to use these, get your feet up, and the climb is over.

Location

As of April 2016:

This is the 2nd route left of the Bonnie & Clyde 3-bolt shorties.

It is the 2nd route right of the Fight or Flight, 5.9+, with the Ushba titanium glue-ins.
