Description:
Start up on a small ledge about 12' L of the Gilded Otter open book. Work up broken rock a few moves, then move R above the first bolt to a stance. Continue straight up past a small overhang, then back L to finish up the flake and wide crack to a stance and anchors. (pg 20 Eric J. Horst guide book)

Fun little lead
Fairly easy moves to start out with, with good clipping stances. Tricky move to the last bolt, with multiple ascent options. Definitely repeatable.
