Description

This is an amazing DWS. It starts low down by the water on a sloper rail and very poor feet that are slippery from the water. Do a few bouldery moves to the crux where you have get a high foot and then stretch to get next sloper. Match on the sloper work you feet up and top out. Super Fun!!!

Location

This route is on the north end of the pool where everyone cliff jumps. There are two bolts used for slack lining at the top. Belay down from the bolts to the start. We tied in using a carabiner then detached at start.
