Description

Up a slippery slab to some good holds under the roof and then power out the somewhat reachy roof with a wild sequence to finish on easy slab to anchors - fun!

One of the first lines on the Motherlode Wall, this was orignally done with just two bolts (the second and third) and no anchors but later retro-bolted to make a popular and often done route.

Location

Left side of the north face and easily identified as a slab to corner capped by a roof.

Nitroglycerine

is just to the right on the arete.

Protection

4 bolts, bolted anchor (shared with Nitroglycerine)

(all bolts 1/2" SS)

Bolts replaced 2019
