Description

Basically 15 feet of relatively easy climbing (5.10ish) followed by a stout V4 (old-school graded) boulder problem. Not a great route, but could be entertaining if you are a stronger climber than I am. Start up the left side of the arete, making cool moves with great jugs, clipping the first two bolts with ease. Then fire the wicked-hard boulder problem - a long move off of marginal feet to a terrible sloper, then crank for the good holds.

Bolts
Length

2 bolts to a 2 bolt-anchor. TR possible by scrambling in from the left chimney or by climbing "South Face" and traversing in from the right. Bolts and anchors are brand new titanium glue-ins.

Furthest left climb on the Southwest Face of Indian Rock (the face you first come to as you approach from the parking lot). Right of the large easy chimney you can scramble up to set a TR.
