Description
This route is the hardest of the Love Nest routes and takes the line of strength up the center of the block.
Starting just left of Shakin' Like Milk climb the thin face upward to a distinct bouldery crux at the third bolt. Above this the difficulties ease considerably, but don't celebrate yet as the final section is a thin and very balancy slab section which will remind you you're still in Josh.
Fingery moves down low and a delicate vertical slab finish make this a great route which requires a variety of techniques to succeed. Three stars out of five.
