The route starts with casual friction climbing on a moderate angled slab and follows solid stone up to a dark water stained runnel. A beefy old piton is found in the runnel. Pulling through it takes you to a ledge. The natural line of continuous difficulty pushes you out left a bit, bypassing the 2nd runnel, and then up and back right on solid features over a bulge and to the summit ramp. All in all, it is a consistently fun route on quality stone.
Note, charging through the 2nd runnel goes at ~11+. It offers an incredibly technical balance sequence. If redpointing, you’ll also need to pull the crux sequence to gain the next bolt. A longish draw can be clipped from below on pinkpoint.
All the bolts were funded and provided by The NCCC. If you would like to make a donation for future projects, visit the website here:

Thanks to the work of the NCCC with Lory State Park (LSP), a Fixed Anchor Initiative has been put in place. This initiative allows for the replacement of old anchors and installation of fixed anchors for new routes through an application process.
Please consult the Lory State Park Rock Climbing guide for more information:

10 bolts + 2 chain anchors. A 60m rope will just reach.
