Description:
This route can be found by taking the right fork when you arrive at the top of the trail to Military. It lies in the corner just past on on the same wall as Nicorette and Nicoderm. Start by laying back on the first 15 feet of the offwidth "Not Worth It" then move left onto the face when the bolts tell you. Sidepull and undercling your way to the chains.

Super-fun...
... but bad choice for a cold shady day. Frozen fingers are as good an excuse as any.
Scary-looking crack at the bottom with a really high 2nd bolt (relative to the 1st) that looks like groundfall territory for sure, but the 2nd bolt is clipped from a good stance, with a practically-hands-free kneebar to rest on, before proceeding to the overhanging section. Enjoyable and pumpy overhanging section with cool sidepulls and underclings, not a typical RRG jughaul, because the hold s are all pointing the wrong way.

Scary, then pumpy.
Lieback kinda freaked me out, but was pretty awesome. Then the pumpy upper section. The holds are pretty good, just overhung.

Ascent Note
The layback part of this route is scary as hell but the rest of the climb is easy IF you have the beta. Lots of chalked holds.
