Description 

Climb a short face passing a bolt and then mantle onto a spacious ledge at the base of a narrow face. Balancy and technical moves up the right arete will see you to a jug at the 4th bolt where you can catch a breather before the non-stop action to the finish. From the 4th bolt traverse out to the left arete where strenuous moves past sloping horizontals then lead back to the right arete and very close to the finish of Gravitational Humiliation. The last moves may not be the hardest, but they're the most insecure and involve a high-step to mantle with poor holds for the hands and feet.

Incredibly varied and fairly continuous in nature, this is a welcome addition to a wall that was previously thought to be climbed out.

Location 

On the narrow face between Pink Squirrel and Gravitational Humiliation.

Protection 

6 bolts, bolted anchor/rap
