Description

Pretty nice sport route with a tricky crux sequence.  Feels awesome when you nail it.  Holds are good and perseverance is rewarded!  

Find a bolt just over the bottom overlap, avoid the slime near the ground.  Engaging moves to the second overlap. Clip the right-hand bolt under the overlap to get stable, then reach left to clip the other bolt. Remove the one underneath and keep going.  You'll hit the big roof after negotiating a third overlap.  A neat and pumpy bouldering sequence will take you over the roof, where a final bolt protects the run to the two-bolt anchor.  

High quality climb, and totally do-able!

Location

Dead center of Bear's Den wall, look for the two bolts right next to each other, about 20 feet up at a big overlap.  You'll see the line leading up and over the roof, heading for a huge pine that stands proudly above the wall dead center.

Protection

5-6 bolts I believe.
