Description

The furthest right route located on the Upper Terrace, find the short corner capped by a small roof. Climb the discontinuous cracks up the corner and into the roof. Get some good gear here and then make a few cruxy moves out right to pull around the roof and up onto the slab. Once on the slab the route merges with Republican and Politics. Finish by clipping a bolt, and heading up the slab to the anchor.

There is also a 5.11+ variation if you pull the roof by going left instead of right. 

Location

Located climbers right on the Upper Terrace above The Crackin’. The route starts in a short corner capped by a small roof. On the Upper Terrace, starting on the bolt anchor just left of the Physics and Politics corner, and just right of the Upper Terrace Chimney. The Upper Terrace can be accessed by climbing one of the first pitches in the reflector oven, such as Strawberry Fields or Loki, it can also be accessed from above by rappelling in (recommended).  

Protection

1 bolt, .2”-3” cams, bolt anchor.
