Description 

This route is pure endurance. There are really no hard moves on the route and only one real rest. Most of the climbing is 5.11 with maybe a 5.11+ section right at the top. Fun blocky rock with little sections of tuffa.

Pull over the low bulge and head up the face using pinches, sidepulls and underclings. There are very few downward pulling hold on this route. You will reach a pretty good rest in a big undercling about half way up. Make a big cross out of this and continue up on slightly smaller holds than before. Eventually you will start to trend right and over a small roof to a very cool pinch. Now the crux begins, more so because you are pumped than the difficulty of the moves. Long moves with few intermediates takes you to the anchors, which can be tough to clip when you get there.

This route is really great for those who are height dis-advataged. There are loads of options and rarely are they much worse than the holds most people will use.

Location 

This is the second route from the right end of the wall and starts over a low roof with a thread just above.

Protection 

Bolts and thread to start to a bolted anchor.
