Description

I thought this would go, then I didn't. After cleaning it up, we where able to find that it does go! This turns out to be a really fun route with several hidden holds that seem to appear just as you want them. Use all techniques to get up this. Thin sport moves, jams, stemming, and body scums will come into play.

Location

This route starts at the bottom of the SW Quarry Wall. It is 50 feet to the climber's right of

Piece Snatcher

. P1. Look for the Elephant face dihedral, and climb 50 feet to a ledge. Belay here to reduce drag on the second 50 feet. From the belay, traverse climber's left, pull a bulge, then follow the roof into a corner and to the top (50 feet).

Protection

3 quickdraws and 2x cams to a #4.
