Description

Great technical face climbing and challenging route finding. Mostly decent crimps and a couple of brilliant pockets! Climb up over a slabby ledge and trend right over easy terrain to anchors. Some holds can be a bit difficult to find, but good holds are definitely there. Crux up high and maybe a bit heady down low. The site of the first bolt ever put up at Sam's with an interesting essay in Cole Fennel's 2nd Ed. Arkansas guidebook.

Location

The route is just climber's left of a pine tree down the small hill of the wall the wall that makes up the left side of the scramble to the top of the Throne.

Protection

Mostly finger sized gear (.3-.5 C4/X4) and few alpine draws. Guidebook reccomends a #6, but is not necessary with horizontal finger-sized pieces. A single bolt protects up high and a 2-bolt anchor.
