Description

This is the second bolted line from the right at the Upper Wall of the Real Hidden Valley. It is a good route, but those under 5'10" may find avoiding the initial roof to be more enjoyable.

A stick clip may be useful for the 1st bolt. Pull over the initial roof (crux) to the right of the 1st bolt. Taller folks may find the pull easier. You can get yellow and orange TCUs in a horizontal. Drift right getting a good flake to the right of the 2nd bolt. Find curiously good holds that keep appearing to finish at the bolt anchor.

The crux is somewhat reminiscent of the cruxes of

Rush Hour

and

Animal Riots Activist

.

Note, a shorter climber may find it better to traverse in from the left after clipping the 1st bolt for

Tetherly Designs

.

The rating I gave may reflect the left shoulder discomfort I've had of late.

Location

This is the 2nd bolted line from the right at the crag.

Protection

3 bolts, yellow and orange TCUs, and a 2 bolt anchor with links and biners.
