Description:

Start in the wide crack 6 feet left of the Sorcerer's Apprentice with a tree growing out of it. Follow this crack to a ledge, traverse right, then up a left leaning diagonal crack to another ledge. Here the route joins the top of Lone Shark and moves from the east to north face of the wall. There is a newer bolt on the face above the route that may represent an alternate direct finish.

Descent Options:

Rap off the Sorcerer's Apprentice anchor or walk-off North to the top of the gully

4 out of 5 stars Fun

The first move into the crack gives you an instant 8 feet off the deck. The traverse to join Lone Shark may be the easiest part of the route, but it's the most exposed and poorly protected making for exciting climbing for the grade.
