Salamander Slab Shortcut

A route that avoids the trickier blank bottom of the full 20’-22’ slab by starting 5’ up, on top of the small adjacent boulder on the right side of the front face slab.  Holds get better as you get closer to the top. From standing start, use the juggy up-left crack/ledge and a combination of smears and a small feet, and traverse left once you get your feet on the ledge to a good rest.  Climb to the right of the tree and once past move use juggy holds to top out.  As you go past the tree to the top, watch out for thorny vines on your right.

Front face slab, start on top of the 5’ high adjacent boulder on the right.

No fewer than two pads for on top of the 5’ boulder and for the bottom of the full slab.
