This route is located near the creek just before the steep hike up to the Plotinus Wall. Look for old mining equipment (universal crusher) in the creek, then look left to a steep, short wall. Climb up past four bolts with a hard move to gain the anchor.

Universal Crusher

Seamingly Left Out

Fly Off The Handle

Locate the 4-bolt route Universal Crusher... S.L.O. is left about 15 feet on the detached, leaning block. The route goes up the obvious left angling, offset seam above the horizontal crack. Go up the slot on the right and place gear in the horizontal. Get your feet onto the horizontal and tiptoe left around the arete to the seam. It's a little hairy leaning out left to spot the gear at the start of the seam. Once looking up at the seam there is a TCU placement followed by a nut or two. An interesting diversion from the bolted routes.

This climb is on the other side of the same formation as Universal Crusher, and starts just uphill from a tree growing close to the rock. Short, overhanging, and powerful. A fun route.
