Description

Fun and mostly sustained climbing. Start on the flake protruding from the ledge. Follow bolts up through a bulge (crux). make more face moves till you can easily traverse up and rigt to a ledge with bolt anchors.

For what it's worth, the route was done with the blessing of Mike Whitman, who was on the FA team for the nearby climb, A Better Way.

Location

Hike past the start of Greenwall and Tomato. Continue south on the small ledge and trail. Eventually there will be a narrow squeeze between the wall and a flake of rock. Once you squeeze through this section you will be at the end of the ledge system. If you look up the wall you will see 2 bolted lines. On the left just above the flake is Pleasant Surprise 5.9. On the right is Past & Pleasant 5.10b/c

Protection

Bolts, Bolt anchor w/rings. #1 C4 useful but not necessary
