Description
Leave the ground on steepish rock avoiding the devil bush (velcro bush) and pull up into the pod by the first bolt. Grab a big comfy jug..clip bolt 2 and do a couple steep moves on good and comfy jugs. Clip bolt 3 and head up vertical rock on nice edges to the pocket rail. Clip bolt 4 and climb the technical and sharpish holds to the anchors.
Location
The far right route on the left/shady wall. 25 feet right of Sharpest Shot. The route was listed as "project" in Islands in the Sky...10+ years later it is now a pretty fun route.
Protection
1 older bolt (still seems solid; circa the rest of the bolts at GC) + 3 stainless bolts and a double mussy anchor.
