Description:
Starts at the wooden ledge and goes up an arete/face. It is a little sporty getting to the 1st bolt (any mortal climber will want to stick-clip). A good variation is, stangely enough, the original line.....off-route the arete and stay straight over the bolts (5.11+). Belayer beware, a lot of rock still comes off this route. One of the best routes in the entire guidebook!

the grades are pretty soft. 10a at the hardest. Beautiful and exposed though.

Oh, man...the 11+ variation is sweet! This was the third time that I've climbed this variation yet I'd forgotten just how great it is. There are two obvious cruxes (both being elaborate and very technical) with plenty of 5.10 climbing on either side. I'm writing this on the morning of the 16th and I still FEEL this route in the muscles of my shoulders and back. Simply AWESOME!

It doesn't matter how many times I climb this route, it's stilll one of my absolute favorites in the Santa Barbara/Ventura guidebook. Clipping the last three bolts (which are positioned a long reach to the right) is still the physical and psychological crux of the route. In fact, I'm not sure any single move is actually 5.10c.
