Description

Climb up through a steep, shallow right facing corner passing 3 bolts. As the terrain eases up, clip another bolt and ramble up and over the rotten overlap placing gear. work right through undercling to solution pocket (tricam). Run out the mellow slab to a bolt. the slab steepens again past two bolts and some more pockets. slab eases again to ring anchors. (5.9) 180 ft

Grease Lightning Variation:  On the FA, the initial grove was too mungy to lead (clean now) and Lee led an alternate start 8 feet to the left. It starts in a crack, in a dirty, left facing corner and bypasses the crux of Green Lightning. the gear takes a little work and isn't all that inspiring.  (5.7 pg13).

Descent: Single Rope Rap with a 70 m trending hard to the right to meet up with the pitch one anchors of Swimming In Neon. One more single rope rap to the ground.

Location

Locate the shallow, bolted, Right facing groove. just before the land starts to rise on your left.
