Description 

A fun bouldery start with some powerful moves. A little short, as it leaves you wanting more and tends to ease off pretty qickly. The crux was down low.

This is the first climb to the left of Recovery Room.

Dear MP,
Just took a look at this description of the Sloth. To set the record straight John Flower had nothing to do with this route on the final ascent. I belayed Lisa and Brad Smith stood by talking garbage about the length of time it Took Lisa to figure out the moves-hence the name, The Sloth. I don't remember Eric being there that day, although I could be wrong, it's been almost 18 years.

Hey Peter, this is why I write everything down. You didn't even climb it that day, if you were there at all. I bolted it with John Fowler and we gave Lisa the FA. So it might be a good idea to talk to the man with the pen and paper before your fingers start flappin' on the keys.

This is sort-a-like a virtual beanfest. The original "The Sloth" is a route I did with Mike Strassman on Troll Wall in the early 80s, so technically you're both wrong. EFR, as the man with pen and paper, shouldn't you be policing this stuff?
