This was a long-forgotten route, and is a gem, rediscovered in the 2008 guidebook. It's a good introduction to hard slab climbing. 

  Climb up past horizontals to a face. Two bolts protect the face (crux, 5.10a) which leads to a horizontal break in the slab. Move right to a fixed anchor (optional belay here). Move up past a bolt and horizontal crack (crux, 5.10b) to a fixed anchor at the top. 

  Rappel with two ropes (or a single 80m rope).

Road Trip

Up the low-angle face using many horizontals for holds and gear, to a great stance below a bulge with a single bolt. Clip the bolt, and make a crimpy move to power over the bulge. Easier ground leads to a bolted anchor on a ledge. The move over the bulge is probably 5.10- and very well protected, while the rest of the route is in the 5.7/5.8 range.

Furthest right route at the slab.  Mixed bolts/gear route.  Very well bolted for the cruxes (two noticeable).  First bolt is about 15 feet up in a black slab.  Follows a direct line straight up, trends left in the middle, then straight up again.  After last bolt traverse 20 feet left to the anchor for 18 Wheeler.  Slightly easier than 18 Wheeler, but still a few 5.10 slab moves.  Awesome route!

This 120'-tall slab sits across the other side of the small valley, facing King Philips Spring Wall. Unlike first appearances, it is surprisingly tall with excellent, grippy rock. The three climbs here are really good. 

  Like King Philips, it suffers from highway noise.
