Description:

Climb the dihedral just right of Panama Canal, past one bolt at the top to bolt anchors. Kirk Miller named and placed the anchors for this climb, but found evidence of a previous ascent. The true name and FA is not known.

4 out of 5 stars ...

A great variation, which I call "Gondolier Canal," climbs the Route Canal corner to an obvious traverse, and finishes on the last two bolts (crux) of Gondolier Arete.
The gear protected section of the climb goes at about 5.8 followed by the 5.10a crux on the arete.
