The Niche

This route shares the same start as Tool Boy but traverses along the horizontal seam into the bolted mid-face dihedral and continues up the crack to the anchors.  The start has changed with the collapse of the large flake but probably for the better.  While the Niche needs a few pieces of gear to get off the ground, it borrows its bolts from and overlaps almost entirely with Nakoma.  This is a sport climb for strong trad climbers and moderate boulderers.  Strong boulderers, move along, and trade the gear for a long stick clip.For TR'ing, directionals in the seam should prevent a huge swing out right if the climber comes off early and should prevent the rope from rubbing across the slight bulge below the anchors.  The main feature of this route is the dihedral and the crack above so aiding through the horizontal seam, seems legit if you don't want to bother with the one-pad hangboard traverse.

Cams .3 - .5 and quickdraws.
