Description
This route climbs a beautiful seam up the center of the wall to a peculiar heart-shaped protrusion in the center. It starts with a steep and slightly overhanging juggy section before following the seam up the center of the main face. After the heart-shaped protrusion the seam thins out until you reach a blank section protected by two bolts. Here the rock quality is not so good and you have to make some difficult and thin moves to gain the big holds up and left. After this you follow a corner and then eventually trend up and left to meet the anchors shared with Sluice Box that are on a boulder at the top of the cliff. If not for the band of poor rock this would likely be the standout 5.10 at the cliff. Still it is worth the effort and most of the climbing is unique and very enjoyable.
Location
Just left of the scoop where Salted and Prospectors Daughter begin you will see a steep overhanging section of featured rock. This route starts climbing up the middle of this feature and then continues up the seam above.
Protection
Nuts and double rack of cams from small to 1". Also 3 bolts. There is a vital .5 C4/X4 placement in the shallow seam just before the somewhat difficult-to-clip bolt at the crux.
