Description

Flakes, crytal pockets, dykes and exfoliating incuts make this line feel more like limestone than granite. The biggest challenge will be deciding which line to take for an approach. Either way this pitch has four bolts a couple gear placements (Particularly a #2 after the second bolt) You will find that we chose to place bolts near some possible gear placements. This was intentional as some features of this climb make better climbing than safe protection.

Similar feel to a shorter Cunning stunt.

From the anchors you can climb a variety of short options to top out.

Location

either climb Class Action then follow bolts above the first anchor

OR

Start as for “Thicker Than Water” up balancing moves with optional small gear to a night first bolt. Clip the bolt, follow the left facing ramp

And cut hard left at the ledge system heading for bolts above the class action anchor. Some easy traversing with extended gear may be helpful. Very fun.

Protection

4 bolts #2/3 Camelot and maybe a couple small cams.
