Description

Some thin, slabby 5.10-like moves up to the third bolt.  After that, it is generally pleasant 5.8 level climbing.  The start is in a pretty tree-filled alcove.  

Location

This route is on the upper part of the wall, a couple yards north of the highest elevation of the ridge.  It is pretty easy to find coming in from the top, maybe 75 yards north of the top of Sublime Line.  We didn't try to access it from below, but it looks like it would be a long, painful scramble up from just south of Tar Baby.

Protection

7 bolts to 2 two-bolt anchor. The bolts look to be early 1990's vintage, but are in good shape.
