This route starts on large party ledge on the right side of Sea of Joy.  From the anchors on the ledge, move right and stem up the dihedral that is the boundary between Sea of Joy and Dark Side of the Moon.  Continue stemming up and over a bulge and pull onto the face with some chert holds.  Follow a left trending line of chert to the anchors.

Location

This is the left most route on Dark Side of the Moon and starts on the large party ledge on the right side of Sea of Joy.  Use "Crazy Diamond"  or "Don't Fear the Reaper" as an approach pitch.

Protection

14 bolts, sport anchor. Lower back to the party ledge with a 60 meter rope. Rappel to the ground with a single rope from the chain anchors on the party ledge.
