Description

This is an overlooked but quality line that climbs out the left side of the funky cave/alcove about 30 yards right of the Polly-nator (please don't go doo-doo or wee-wee in here, as people actually do this route from time to time).

It can be recognized by some deep pockets and a round hole down low on the route, and is the leftmost route in this particular alcove. A project just right ends at half-height anchors, whereas Salty goes all the way to the top of the wall.

Boulder up and clip a high first bolt (or better yet, stick clip it). A hard shoulder roll gets you into good pockets, followed by another bouldery crux to gain some good jugs. Pumpy, very sustained climbing up the blocky headwall leads to a high set of anchors. Don't blow it at the lip of the final roof -- though the holds are good, you'll be plenty pumped!
