Nate's photo reminds me of this scenic sidewalk, which Left Coasters will quickly recognize.

I was going to say Aqua Knobby but after seeing Jaybro's post, I'll go with Unnatural Act

Good choices both since they cross the same ledge. Aqua Knobby was the right one for us, though.

I did that route back in the late 80s...my recollection is that it was sketchy navigating and a bit run out. I much prefer needle spoon or zee tree.

Ah, I liked Aqua Knobby better than those others.
Lots of variety and the big pitch has exactly the number of bolts it needs: one!

Chiloe, in that shot of Aqua Knobby, do I see a bit of "sling" improv?

Sharp eyes! That is indeed my gear sling used as a runner on the final piece of pro.
I must not have brought the right amount of gear, funny how that happens.

"Lunch Ledge" is also not quite as spacious or comfortable as the name implies. It's really more of large flake with no level surface and yes, sadly, a popular "rest stop".
