Description:
Well protected slab route. Runs to the right of the regualr crack route a ways, and finishes in the same area. The start is marked by a rock cairn. Eight pitches ranging from class four-ish blocks, to solid 5.8 friction climbing. This route was put up with the intent of allowing lots of climbers to enjoy it. Thusly, it is well protected, and not run out. All belays are bolted with large rap hangers so rapping the route is suggested. Two rope rappells. First ascent by Kevin Caudil and Alan Queen. Topo coming soon...

Lots of bolts
This is an enjoyable route with lots of bolts. My girlfriend and I simul-climbed the first several pitches as one pitch and then did the last three (crux) pitches with a real belay. The climbing is easy below the top three and I would reccomend doing the route this way. Bring long draws to reduce rope drag.

Did I lose my steel pulse?
OK, last year I did not mind the runout on the crux pitch, this year I did. Bring .75" gear for a small overlap bulge if you want tumble protection. I got scared. My manliness was called into question. Be safe, bring a cam. - Spinner bolt on pitch 3, still solid.

solid.
very enjoyable route. for the full value stay directly on the bolt line. if you do it right, it is certainly 5.9 for pitches 5 and 6. easier variations abound.

Great Route
Thanks Kevin for a really nice and well thought out line. If you follow the bolt line straight up and don't go for the easy stuff on the left or the right, it's a solid 5.8/5.9 on several pitches.

Killer route!
Origionally did this lower section as a runout start passing some mountaineer dudes on the regular route. Cool bolted line. Yeah it gets close to the triple cracks of the regular route, but never mind that! Great bolts, great stations, even more... great rock! 800 feet of solid granite, what else is there when your looking for some elevation without committing 100%! Thanks for establishing a super cool route.
