Description

This route begins with the same 4th class approach as

Peanuts

(look for a dead horizontal tree part way up the cliff). Set up a belay about 15 left of the start of

Peanuts

. The crux is above the first bolt and is height-dependent to reach a good edge. The short slab is followed by a short crack, which has one difficult move. Follow the crack to a ramp, up and right, continuing to the desired anchor. This route provides a good approach pitch for

Air Guitar

.

Protection

2 bolts protect the initial slab. The upper crack and ramp traverse can be protected with gear up to 1". There is a two-bolt anchor where this route merges with

Peanuts

offering a rappel option, or one can continue along the ramp to the 2-bolt anchor on

Just Another Girl's Climb

.
