Description:
The route is the bolt line just left of Shark's Breath (both routes share the same last bolt). Climb the fins and jugs on the bottom half to the light-colored headwall. Pull the two crux moves on the smooth face to the top of the arete and the anchors will be on your left. This is a great climb for sport climbers leading at 5.7 who are ready to take it up a notch. The two crux moves are protected well and a lead fall would be nice and clean.

Great route
Fun lead, one of the easier 5.8s in the area.

Decent climb.
This was my first 90ft climb. Skip the first few bolts to help with rope drag. Has one sketchy move over a crack and into a mantle. A fall there would be bad. Other than that very well protected. I thought the vertical face was harder than 5.8.
