Description 

This route doesn't have a move harder than 11+ but it is has 110 feet of overhanging 5.10 and 5.11 climbing. The first set of anchors is for a single rope descent. If you stop at the first set of anchors the route is 5.11 or 11+.


Location 

On the Ravens near the top of Mt. Lemmon. It is on Raven B in the chimney between Raven B and Raven C. Descend the east side of the Ravens. See Squeezing the Lemmon II for the approach. The Start is the same as Swing Set 5.11 but takes the left hand bolt line. To get down with one rope (60M) lower to the first set of anchors. Clip in and untie, pull your rope, re-thread, retie your knot, then finish lowering to the ground.

In my opinion, one of the best single pitch sport routes I have ever done, anywhere. Steep, long and sustained, it works your brain as much as your arms. If you live in Arizona and climb 5.12 this is a must do.
