Description:
Start up and right of Sunshine Ridge on some rubble near the left edge of a huge roof. This short bolted line is about five feet left (toward the road) of a scrappy looking dihedral system that leads to a ratty anchor. There is a worthless bolt at about chest height and then two more directly above (we wondered if there was significant rockfall that buried the bottom of the route making the first bolt useless). Starting on a block, climb past two bolts to a left slanting crack. Place a blue Camalot in a pocket in the crack then go up and left along the crack until you can get another piece in. Make a couple more moves to reach the two bolt anchor.Descent Options:
Rappel/lower from the two bolt anchor (the two bolts were connected with blue webbing at the time of our ascent).

Scrappy Pappy
It looked a bit better than it was. The first bolt might as well be pulled and at least the third bolt should be replaced.
