Description

This route is located at the far west end (left side) of Cactus Cliff on the face just left of

Crynoid Corner

. It is listed as the first route in the Thompson guide, but

Spray Lord

is a new route just left of Slicer. Once a scary lead, Slicer has been retrobolted and can be led using only bolts.

I would divide this route into two distinct sections with the first being much better than the second. The route starts with a small roof that you kind of have to thug over, probably easier for taller people. Many variations here depending on if you are on TR or lead, height, preference of holds, etc. Gain the face and climb fairly fun rock to a large ledge. Continue up the center of the second face to the anchors. The second section of climbing seemed to be way easier than the first.

It is possible to TR this route after climbing

Crynoid Corner

.

Protection

7 bolts to an anchor.
