Description
Possibly the most overlooked sport climb at the Motherlode? An interesting slab that starts in a small, vertical scoop feature and continues up debris covered, low angle rock with water grooves and edges to the top.
Start on the right side of the scoop and make a few steep moves to establish yourself on some protruding edges on the left face. A couple perplexing moves get you to a stance about 10 feet below the fourth bolt. Balance up and left along slopey water grooves then shuffle right along a juggy rail to clip(PG13 part). Mantle over the rail and continue up much easier slab using edges to the top.
I admit that this route is dirty, but the rock is great and the climbing is very fun. Might not be the best route for a budding 5.10 climber. Great option if you are looking for an adventure.
Location
Right of Ball Scratcher.
Protection
Bolts and a two bolt anchor.
