Description:
Standing on top of Teenage Wasteland, this route is on the buttress in front of you, somewhat to your right. Follows a short finger-hand crack up to slabs and the top. The bolt on this route is the first placed on lead with a battery-powered drill in the Angel Rocks area. There is a two bolt anchor on the top, although as of 5/16/05 only one of the bolts has a hanger.

First Ascent
Dean Case and myself established this climb from the ground up with a battery pwered Bosch drill on lead. The climbing is fairly straight forward but there is a runout or two in here and the rock can be chossy so beware if you take the sharp end and are not used to some exposure.
On the first ascent there was a fair amount of grunge and the footing was dicey but it improved after several ascents.

Ascent Note
Technical crux is at the beginning, but more or less well protected. After the bolt, I had trouble finding any gear, so I ended up running it out up to the top, which was a little scary. I would call this a 5.6R, but I'm a pansy. Not sure that I can highly reccomend it - it's pretty typical Angel Rocks, especially the shitty (in places) rock.
