Description:
This has been described as the most enjoyable climb on the wall. Begin where an oak grows against the rock a few feet left of Trauma. It is mostly face climbing with bolts placed every 9-18 feet. Good exposure on this 160 foot climb. There are belay bolts half way up to do the climb in two pitches. VALYGRL's edits: The oak is gone, keeled over in El Nino of 1998.

So fun.
I told myself that I could climb this route a million times and not even think of falling, with crumbly rock or not (Pinnacles is known for this, but it is such a well traveled route that I haven't seen any), so I soloed it. It was beautiful, plus you can just walk off.
