Description

It goes up a guano-invested crack / undercling and trends left on small holds and good feet to a rest. Milk the rest then pull the three or so moves through the bulge to the anchors. This is an awkward route that never really let's up until just before the bulge. Some good footwork will save your arms from crimping too hard. I felt as if I could peel off at any moment from bolts 2-5 if I let my guard down. Pulling the bulge and clipping the chains wasn't too bad after having a solid rest. Have fun on this!

Location

This route is not part of Sidewalk Buttress proper. Rather, head back toward Contra Wall on the trail about 50 yards. Many of the routes (Asphalt Flowers, Goblin's Gold, and Peppermint Wind) can be identified by the black roof/bulge near the tops of the routes. This is the leftmost route in this general vicinity.

Protection

8 bolts, 2-bolt anchor
