Directly left of Nike Route, this route heads up through two bolts to the vertical crack (or so it appears). Shares the same anchors as Nike Route. Rating looks about 5.9 on the lower slabs, getting easier higher up. Bolted by John Ferguson, Mark Matos.

Nice slab, good for getting a feel for friction climbing.

Red Point ascent by:
Nike Direct
Climbed "Great Expectation" and then rapped down and over to set a TR on "Nike Direct" with the objective of working on friction technique. Perfect height for 60m rope for this drill. After running laps on TR, pulled the rope and lead it.
Staying left under the first bolt is the easier path. The crack above is super fun!! Make sure that you have a full 60m rope, or you won't make it to the belay bolts after the crack runs out.

Followed rob up what we thought was the nike route. Thinness at first bolt, then cruiser up from there. Nice crack all the way up or climb the face, either way is 5.6/7
