Moving into the crux section on Microwave


Description 

A balancy start up and over a bulge leads to good pockets and a ledge. The holds thin out drastically above the second bolt, and it's all crux from the ledge up to the anchors. Short, but packed with hard and thought-provoking moves.


Location 

Right end of The Oven, around the corner from the big Terminal Vector roof. Starts to the right of the old pine tree.


Protection 

3 bolts to chains shared with Body Language.

Short but technical moves on this one. The grade seems solid as it's more on your feet climbing than brawn.

The boulder problem crux of this route, near the top, has one of the smallest holds you've ever seen on a 5.11. Good rock and movement, but short and not too sustained.
