Description

Start up steep, broken-looking but apparently solid rock to a bolt about 15 feet off the deck, then commit to the crux section — working into a short left-facing dihedral and good natural pro in great stone.  Above, take a somewhat meandering line via much easier climbing past two more bolts and gear opportunities to the anchors shared with the top of the first pitch of Slippery When Wet and Billionaire Boys Club.  Rap or continue up Slippery from here. The bolts are 3/8”, but with SMC (old) hangers, and blowing the end of the crux section conceivably could result in a brush with the ground, so buckle up — or TR it like we did from the Slippery/BBC anchors.

Location

Take the path through the manzanita downhill from the staging area for Histo/Bring on the Atheists for about 40 feet until able to cut back up another path that leads to the base of Billionaire Boys Club to the left and Bring on the Billionaires some 15 feet to the right (path fairly overgrown as of this writing).

Protection

Trad rack to a No. 2 Camalot.
