Description
The guidebook rates this 5.8, but even with my short time on the rock, I can't bring myself to agree. It's a fun moderate, great if you're looking to learn lead, and the view up top is fantastic. The route starts on a right-trending ramp that you can nearly walk up before getting into some more interesting moves for the grade.
A 70m rope is required.
Location
This route is a short jaunt after Smarter than the Average Bear and Daydream. Follow the trail down through a million or more aggressive thistles until the rock falls away from you on your left. The first 3 bolts are easily spotted on a very light grade about ten to fifteen feet left of some bushes. You might have trouble seeing the rest of the bolts until you start climbing, but rest assured they're all there, somewhere.
Protection
12 hundred bolts to a couple snazzy anchors.
