Description

Hike up to Redgarden Wall as for

C'est La Vie

or

Touch 'N' Go

, starting from the old concrete slab just SW of the Whale's Tail. Make your way up to the cliff and walk left a short distance to an obvious bolted line on a flat but broken, right-facing wall that overhangs slightly. This climb is on an obvious arete more or less 1/2 way between

C'est La Vie

and

Touch 'N' Go

.

The line of bolts follows a line of sharp holds up and left to the arete, then left at the corner. These holds start large but get small, and are somewhat painful in spots. Follow said line of bolts up, then left to the arete, then around the edge and up to the top. It's kinda fun, but kinda short, and kinda sharp. Still, it should give even a strong climber a good pump.

From the top, a fixed station lies up and left.

Protection

5 draws plus 2 slings for the anchors up above.

Per

Mark Rolofson

: you can clip a bolt from

No Lo Contendere

with a long sling to make it 6 bolts & a pin.
