MapDescription
This route is a unique masterpiece of finesse and physicality. Start up the vertical face to reach the first ledge with your hands, clip a bolt and press out the first of multiple namesake mantles. Continue up on solid holds placing gear in pockets and horizontals until reaching 2 more bolts higher up and a final mantle to easier terrain that leads to the anchor.
Location
The second route to the right of the dihedral (Andromeda Strain) at the far left end of Roadside. Look for a series of three ledges going up the face. The first bolt can be located about 10-15 ft up.
Protection
3 bolts plus a small assortment of cams and tricams. Bolted anchors.
