Description

Climb the short, steep corner using a thin hands crack to a small "scoop" on a clean slab just below and left of a line of bolts.  Enjoy excellent face climbing through the bolt line on the exposed upper wall.  This is not a slab route! It feels steep, tenuous, and exposed.  After the fourth bolt, place a bomber finger sized cam in a horizontal crack and climb the blunt arete, passing one more bolt.  Build a gear anchor below a large, hanging boulder using 1-3" cams and walk off to the right, back to the Ridge Trail.      

Location

On the far right side of the In Lieu Of Seneca Slab, walk up the hill a few meters and cut back left across low angle, mossy slabs to a belay at a small stance among some rhododendrons beneath a short, steep corner.  

Protection

5 bolts and a single rack from BD .4 to 3 and some tricams or nuts.
