Description 

Start by a large boulder with a bit of face climbing into a small left facing corner. From here stem, slap, deadpoint, and keep your head together. Very sustained and bouldery. Other known leads by Matt Childers and Ty Mack placing gear on the run. Quite brilliant climbing.


Location 

A couple of systems right of Paradise Lost.


Protection 

Wires, cams...

As far as I can recall Mattson got the first ground up ascent placing gear. I believe one or two folks, may have climbed it with pre placed gear, but Matt and Ty were the second and third to send it ground up.

I remember a picture of Jonny Woodward climbing this route. That was like a decade ago or more.
