Description Suggest change

Moving Out starts in a shallow corner system at the right end of Primo Wall just above the slabs. This route starts hard with some very in-obvious fingery moves in the corner. After no more than 10 or 12 feet, the route settles back for several reasonable moves. However, the first 10 feet may be the crux and probably more like 5.12a/b than 5.12a splitting hairs, I know. Slip out of the dihedral on some full-hand blocks to get a good stance before leading off into the second 5.12 crux. This sequence reminded me of The Crystal Tower route, Quartz Sports. It is a lot more delicate than it is powerful, and the foot holds leading into an undercling crux are pretty slender. Haul out of the undercling onto some Thank-God jugs, a few clips on moderate terrain, and the anchor. (Per Will Chang: there is no undercling on this route nor Thank God jugs.) Two stars for sure. The climbing is tricky, fingery, powerful, and continuous. Personally, I get on Moving Out almost every time I go to Primo Wall. I'd pour Alan's beer myself for this fine addition.

QD only. This 50 foot route needs just half a dozen draws and something for the double bolt anchor at the top.
