Description

Scramble up to the base of the route, and clip the first bolt, then head straight up the bolt line on some large, solid flakes. Continue to a crux between the 4th and 5th bolt, then look for the hidden 7th bolt. After this bolt, it's about a 25-foot runout on 5.5 terrain to the anchors, but there's a flake on the right that will take some gear if you're not comfortable with the runout.

We belayed from the ground next to a large rock outcropping with a 70m rope (and had plenty of rope left), but your belayer can scramble up to the ledge at the start of the route and belay from there with a 60m rope.

Rap off from the anchors.

Location

After you reach the crag on the approach trail, go right and locate the two 5.7 routes,

Love Canal

and

Crystal Jug

. Then keep walking right (east) along the base of the wall down a short hill and slightly uphill for about 25 yards. You'll end up at the rock outcropping and see the bolts starting on a series of large flakes...plus you can see the anchors, too.

Protection

7 draws plus a large cam if you want to protect the runout. 2 bolts for anchors at the top.
