Description

Great location, cool moves and good rock. This quasi unique route was named after an article in the LA Weekly about how Gin was making a comeback... like it ever went away!

The crux involves a fairly giant move out of steep laybacks to gain the featured rock above. Standard bolt clipping on perfect gold rock will lead you to the summit. At various times there are runners and extendo clips on some of the bolts. Probably height dependent in spots, and certainly span dependent at the crux.

Location

This route starts at the blunt arete directly right of Tumbling Rainbow. If you are standing at the start of Tumbling Rainbow, and extend your right arm, you might actually be fingering the opening holds.

Protection

Bolts (6?), with a bolt anchor on the top. 60m cord will get you down.
