Description
Updated in the Best Of Gaines guide this used to be just a TR that joined New Wave 5.12 R. It had two bolts added and now is a great damn near sport pitch. Little heady between 2nd and third bolt.
Clip first bolt from the ramp and figure out the very sporty start. Tricky clips come thereafter and a perplexing downward left traverse at the 3rd bolt will keep your attention. Rap anchor at the end.
There's a second pitch at 11b (straight left to a bolt is a 11d variation), up and left past three bolts to a bolted anchor and then a third 10dR pitch (Muir Trail), one bolt above the anchor then back down and right to better holds and a runout. Check the guidebook for a topo.
Location
Starts left of The Unchaste directly under a painted gray bolt.
Protection
4 bolts and 2 bolt anchor.
