Description

A popular first v5. Good moves to good holds, this route is surprisingly juggy.

Hop down into the pit. start in the bottom right block, and work your way up following the right side. Believe it or not, that monster jug on the right side is on. I've heard that eliminating that jug + arete makes this climb go at a v7. 

Location

Find Nameless boulder (Can't miss it. You definitely walk by it along carriage road). If you orient yourself facing the boulder, immediately to the left you will notice a boulder that kind of juts out of the ground at an angle pointing towards the cliff. It points straight back towards the Ant's Line area (trad, 5.8). Go straight up into the rocks next to Nameless boulder, and immediately to the right you'll notice a little cave/pit with chalked holds at a 45-ish angle. When you are looking at the boulder problem, you would be facing carriage road. On the right is the following (V5) with Meaning of Life (V5) next to it on the left.

This boulder is perhaps difficult to find as the problem is not directly visible from carriage road. The scramble up to this problem is maybe only 10 feet towards the cliff/off of carriage road. If it has taken you more than 30seconds-1minute, you have gone too far.

Protection

i would recommend 2 medium sized pads and a thin pad. one pad inside the pit. thin pad along the jagged rock that protrudes behind you about halfway through the problem so you dont fall into it, and one more pad to protect the top out/upper part.
