MapDescription
Locate the small pine tree on a ledge about 55 feet up just right of
Blade Runner
. The route starts on a slabby face, following 6 bolts to the right side of the ledge with the pine. Care is needed on the ledge, as it is littered with gravel-sized rocks.
Gingerly step left around the tree and air it out to the 7th bolt. Most climbers over 6 feet tall will be able to clip this bolt with a stretch from a stance on the ledge. Shorter climbers will experience the "joy" of making a move a two a ways out from the 6th bolt. Although the crux is a couple of bolts before the ledge, the last 2 bolts will get your attention.
This is a good route that deserves the 10b/c rating in Rick Thompson's guide.
Protection
8 bolts to anchors.
