A Peaceful Transition

This is a fairly well sustained 5.8 route with a sassy start to an easier pedestal flake (5.6) for some peaceful relief. After the prominent flake you will transition to more sustained 5.8 climbing with two more crux sections above. There is a thoughtful bulge to navigate followed by a water groove to move up and through to the top. Lots of holds but not always in your face. Your call on which section is the actual crux!

This route is on a south facing buttress of Whiskey Rock which is a distinct arete proudly facing the Palouse. The route itself is left of the obvoius arete on the southwest face and slightly right of a mossy water groove.
