Description
Awesome route that is better than it looks and deserves more traffic. Start up the first overhang, pulling a difficult-to-decipher first crux past the 3rd bolt. After clipping the 4th bolt, either step far left (easier) or go directly up (harder) to get onto a sloping ledge. From the ledge, launch up an even steeper overhang, with a second crux making a long move to a right-hand jug below the last bolt.
Location
Right-most of 2 routes on a steep, tiered wall on the right side of the Oven. Climbs two obvious overhangs broken by a small, sloping slab.
Protection
8 bolts, lower-off anchors.
