Special Invitation 7a

Ascend the middle of the wall between Teddy Bear's Picnic and Central Groove by jumping to start, similar to New Hat.

Proceed upward and to the left using a small incut hold and climb the wall located to the left of New Hat to complete the route in an awkward manner.

The Sandstone is very soft -- leading is not allowed. Most climbs are top-roped, and ropes should be extended over the edge and set up in a way such as to minimize the wear on the rock. Top-out and down-climb is preferred to lowering. Abseiling is, also, forbidden.
