Description
Start to the left of French Route and climb up towards a thin flake with grass growing from its top. You may be able to protect with small gear behind this flake, or use the first bolt on French Route for more security. From the stance on top of the flake, climb up through steep crystals and thin moves before reaching the first bolt, the only bolt beneath the overlap. Continue up to a stance under overlap and clip the second bolt before surmounting the overlap and gaining easier terrain. From there, climb a 35-ft runout straight up to the double bolt belay station shared with Stranger than Friction. Optionally continue upward trending right to the top of a wall where a double-bolt rappel station exists (same second pitch as Stranger)
