Like its neighbors, this route's challenge lies in choosing a good path of divots to the top. Pick wisely and it will seem easy; a misstep will turn it into Sandbag City.   Having the most bolts en route to the top, this climb is the most popular of the 5.10 trio of sport routes on this short face. It's definitely easier than Pox, but pretty similar to I am Lesion, and of course, noticeably harder than H1N1.   Neil Dunkley sent this one some time in 2010 or 11. Not sure who he was climbing with during the FA.

Climb the left-facing corner to its top at 30'. Continue up the dirty, low-angle slab another 20' to the trees.   This is an easy and well-protected way to set up a Top-Rope for neighboring routes.

The crux is moving onto the slab above the crack and making the next couple moves up.   This isn't hard, but the holds here are slopey and insecure. It's a terrifying solo.

Doable as a sport route, but the original ascent placed a pc. or two leading up the initial face. It's possible, during dry spells, to skip the start by climbing up the ugly notch to the block.   Climb up and right to the right side of a block lying on a sloping ledge at the upper end of the notch. Use the block to clip the first bolt, but step down to enjoy the initial move getting onto the upper face. (SARS Left uses the block, then moves left to avoid the crux, taming the route by two grades). Once on the upper face, sketchy moves along a right-rising seam allow another bolt clip (be careful doing this one). Now make holdless moves right to gain another seam. Move up and right along it to top out.

Wish I could say where the crux is; to me it feels like it is crux from start to about 6' below the anchors. Definitely feels harder than I am Lesion and Getcher Breakfast, but perhaps it just "has my number". Whatever: it took 4 tries over a whole day to send this w/o falling, and that after rehearsals and toward the end of the season when I was in top shape.

Climb up the face onto the narrow (8") ledge, then continue up the face on small crimps to the top of the Cracklosis block. Finish on the face just right of that route's crack, going up low-angle, dirty slab (or descend after the hard part).   Currently, setting a TR on this route is a bit of a pain. Free-soloing up Measly Corner is the simplest access; once there, a horizontal  below the top of the block provides two good cam placements, and a big cam (Camalot #4 or 5)can be used behind the block.

The crux is more or less getting off the ground. Once up on the knife-edged chockstone, step out left to easy climbing along the outside corner to reach the top of the Cracklosis block.   Do NOT head for the bolt anchors to the right.

Up the face to the top of the gully. Join Cracklosis to the top. 45' 

Climb to (or stick-clip) the first bolt and continue, passing two more bolts, to a two-bolt anchor.

This is the widest stretch of cliff, the first one comes to when arriving from the trailhead via the BAW path.   The cliff faces south but is short and wooded, making it cool in summer and early autumn, warm after the leaves fall.   Its left side is wet and very mossy; to the right of the main drainage, conditions improve greatly.   The climbing includes an easy dihedral, tricky slabs, and divoted face climbing. Pockmarks are ubiquitous here.
