Description

Named for the proliferation of the beautiful wildflower of that name all over along the approach trail. Where this route lacks in quantity (length) it makes up for it in quality! You might want to hang out on this thing all day long. You can climb it a number of different ways.

Pitch #1: Pass two bolts on the blankish cruxy start to a nice mantle where you can start placing gear. Those options soon disappear. Some thin moves make  the second crux to a bolt protect the final moves to the three bolt belay. 5.10b/c, 12m, 3 bolts.

Location

A prominent light colored/dark colored transition demarcates the route line. Kind of in the middle of the wall.

Protection

QDs for only 3 bolts on the route, the middle of the route can be well protected with a few micro-sized Camalots to 0.75. Great gear placements abound.
