Description

A very enjoyable climb and a good first climb of the grade for those breaking in to 5.10s. There are two cruxes, the first steep and a little pumpy the next techy and footworky.

Starting on the left end of the cave climb up directly on steep rock or step off a boulder to reach good holds. A few of the key holds on the first part are a bit hidden, so if you feel like it's too hard for the grade you might be right. Continue up and right to a good rest stance, then around the corner and left on to balancy moves (past a loose hold that just won't come all the way out (yet) and on to the Quick clips.

Enjoy.

Location

On the left side of the cave, the next route left of Cereal Killer (5.11c).

Protection

5 bolts to quick clips.

Stick clip the first bolt, or at least get a good spot to keep the back of your head off the sharp boulder, as the landing is bad and the moves a little awkward. Be aware the jug for clipping the second bolt is starting to creak also.
