Short but engaging route up a patina-covered face. Start about 5' left of the first bolt and traverse right to a jug rail, continuing right and then up. Pass some diagonaling seams and a sea of jugs on the way to the anchors.

Generally nice edges on a vertical face. The placement of the first bolt is a little baffling - step a few feet right for easier moves that are more in-line with the second bolt. Small but positive crimps will take you past the last bolt to the anchors.

Jaws is an excellent climb following a left-facing flake/seam with intermittent holds and even more intermittent gear.

The Horniak guide calls it "PG", but I would put it in solid "R" territory. There is a single, shallow placement that protects the bulk of the middle of the route, including the crux, and fumbling that placement could have serious consequences.

The anchors are easily accessed when lowering off of "Megalodon", if you're not feeling the lead.

Unique and really good route following a traversing crack/seam. Head straight up the face on nice edges to the first bolt, then start moving left along a juggy horizontal crack with good feet. After a few bolts, the crack pinches to a seam, the feet disappear, and things get interesting. Sequency moves between pods in the seam will lead you to the anchor.

It should be fairly obvious but it's essentially mandatory that a follower clean this.

A surprisingly long and moderate offering. The route wanders a bit - sometimes left or right of the bolt line - but generally features nice edges and a few cruxes.
