Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Climb a bulgy roof up past some good holds to some bad holds. There are really 2 cruxes, the obvious one is getting up over the bulgy roof and the other comes higher when the handholds thin out.

If you plan to lead this a really tough guy would start up Masters of Defeet for one enduro pitch. Wimps like me TR this by tunneling to the top, passing Gallwas Crack on the way. Not sure if a 60 would get you all the way down to the ground but a 70 just might. Be careful.

Location 

Starts up high above Masters of Defeet, right of The Wasp.

Protection 

Bolts. Hang out up above Masters of Defeet at the bolted anchor to belay.
