Description
Recommend pre-hanging the 3rd draw (requires a long stick). The belayer stance is on an occasional stream, but is good in dry weather. Great climbing through the first 4 bolts, then difficulty is over.
Climb some dusty rock up an arête to a jug rail and traverse right to the first bolt. Make long reaches using good holds to the ledge at the second bolt.
Figure out a wild boulder problem getting off the ledge and reach good holds near the 3rd bolt. Make a difficult clip, find the necessary feet to bump straight up using a shallow pocket and a series of increasingly good bulges. Move right and get your feet underneath you to a good stance. The climbing to the anchors is pretty easy and the lichen does not get in the way.
Location
The left-most route on the obvious bulge on the left side of the canyon.
Protection
6 bolts, 2-bolt open-shut anchor.
