Description:
Starts right of Crackin' Up in the central wall of the Amphitheater. Climb the face past widely-spaced bolts to anchors below the roof. Like Crackin' Up, this route takes time to dry after a rain.

Top Rope ascent by:
finally....
Today was the day, it turned out, for the Amphitheater to not be crowded and nice people I knew to have a rope on this one. It is as "technical" as it has looked: with two degrees less slope to the wall, it would be pushing 5.9 for difficulty of holds and footing. It even relies on a finger pocket right away. Fortunately, it becomes easier toward the top, with finally a jug or two where needed; and there is no place on it that feels ugly to do. My respect to those who do lead it.
