Description

This line exemplifies the best of Red Slab climbing - long, steep, continuous, and reasonably protected. Start in the short left-facing corner at the right end of the roof. Clip a bolt on the outside edge (added in 2001) to mitigate a groundfall, then reach out around the roof for the second clip. Once you pull out around the roof, you get fun, continuous 5.9/5.10 slab climbing all the way to the anchors. There really isn't any distinct crux - the hardest bit will be different for everyone based on reach and body type. This is a "must-do" route - one of the nicest pitches of its kind in the canyon.

Protection

Seven bolts to a two-bolt anchor with rings.
