Description
From the belay stance at the top of King Pin, traverse to the climbers right on easy but debris and vegetation filled ledges to a pair of bolts at the base of Arrested Development. Belay at the double bolts.
Climb up easy ledges 30 feet. Just before the wall above steepens move climbers right south to a large left facing corner. Climb corner for 15 feet then move slightly left and up a low angle slab and climb up 25 feet past a tree to the base of Tourist Crack. There is no pro on the slab for 15 to 20 feet but it is easy.
Instead of following the corner that forms Tourist Crack, climb just right of the prominent outside edge, which is just right of Tourist Crack. Near the top at the first bolt move left and follow the edge to a large belay ledge and a two bolt belay/rappel station that also serves Tourist Crack and the left side variation of Tourist Attraction.
Protection
The top 20 feet of the edge is protected by three bolts, the rest of the climb uses trad pro from small wires up to one two inch cam and one three inch cam.
