Description:

A couple approach pitches bring you to a short 5.8 traverse along a large dike heading out left past a couple bolts to a two bolt anchor. The next pitch starts out in a shallow groove with bad pro for about 15ft then eases up for a bit and the gear gets better and better. More traversing up left with everything from face moves, fingerlocks and hand jamming lead to a short rooflet bulge with good gear. After the bulge, more difficult moves lead to a difficult transfer to a thin ledge and the anchors. The crux of the route is in the last 5 ft.

Descent Options:

Rap with two 60m ropes.

3 out of 5 stars Weard

Cottrells guide calls this one of the best single pitches at Caliveras.... I don't agree at all. It is varied climbing, a bit spicy and forever changing but still a little dirty and just awkward. It's a great pitch but not one of the best at Cal Domes.
