Description
A decent crack route that gets shade in the morning and sun in the afternoon. The route is located on a narrow buttress on the back side of Pep Boys Crag, nearest to the Cathouse.
Starting on the left side of a narrow buttress at an alcove, climb past an overhang to diagonal up and left in a off-fingers to tight-hands crack.
Location
The route is located on a narrow buttress on the back side of Pep Boys Crag, nearest to the Cathouse. From the paved pullout by the Milepost, follow the designated south path about 100 yards to a fork. The right fork goes to the Cathhouse, the left fork goes behind Pep Boys Crag. Shortly after taking the left fork of the designated path, you'll see the narrow buttress on your left with Strain Gauge and Flim Flam Man. From the path, scramble up through boulders to the base of the route.
Scramble down the prominent gully just left of the start of the climb.
