This route features great slab climbing on excellent rock but unfortunately the route is on the short side. The bolts are a little spaced but protection is still adequate; if not wanting to lead this route it's easily toproped from the shared anchors with Isotope.

Begin on the NW side of Boulder II. Stem off an adjacent boulder and make balancy moves to the first of four bolts. Veer right to a second bolt to gain a dihedral. Clip two more bolts before leaving the dihedral to a featured face. Run it out to the top on the lower angled face.

Climb past a 1/4" bolt with no hanger to the top of Atom Smasher Boulder #3.

This excellent route climbs the southwest arete of a giant boulder on high-quality stone. Not really a sport route, but reasonably well-protected with technical and balancy moves up an arete that steepens and curves right near the top. A progressive route back when it was first done this is still a worthy tick if in the area.
