Box of Rain; 5.11c; FA Paul Glover and Steve Annecone

This is a steep and fairly sustained route on beautiful rock. It has many sections of 10+ and 11 climbing with tricky sequences and thin feet. The crux is pulling through the final bulge up high past the 5th bolt, where the pump factor can start to weigh in. It could serve as a nice warm-up if you are going to Discipline or Cornucopia, though it is a fun route to do on its own.

This route is on the far west end of the south face and starts just a few feet left of Stone Love.

Lower or rappel from the anchor (though a scramble off to the north is also possible).

Bring 5 draws for the bolts plus two for the anchor at top. The 5th bolt is hard to see from the ground, but it’s there above the last roof.
