Description

Climb a short, vertical section and pull up onto a big ledge. Climb up the slightly left-facing dihedral with a flake/seam to the left, clipping bolts that are around a small corner to the right. Be careful through here as the climbing is a little goofy, there is a really nasty ledge below you, and the bolts are situated in awkward locations. Pull a small roof to easier climbing above and the anchors.

The climbing on this route is decent, but the bolt placements on the lower section detract from its quality. The main wall is a flake that becomes more detached as you move upward. It would be better if the bolts were on the left hand side of the miny arete, instead of on the right hand side. It would make them easier to clip, and prevent the quickraws from scraping on the arete.

Location

The Hideout can be logically split into 2 halves. This route is the furthest route to the right on the right half of The Hideout. It is about 100 feet past the group of routes that make up the bulk of the right Hideout.

Protection

This is a bolted route, but I added a PG-13 to the grade. If this is at your limit, you will want to be very careful and have an attentive belayer. The bolts are in awkward locations, and the quickdraws scrape around a small arete, which isn't optimal.
