No crux? That's a new one! The top of this route is distinctly the crux.

Don't stray to far right near the top. You could encounter some loose rock like I did.

Good fun route a little arm pump at the end I am not sure I would call it a 5.9+ I think it is just 5.9

Sweet movement and fairly sequential throughout. I felt that passing that last bolt was definitely the crux - a delicate move that requires a little faith: grab and go and hope there will be something more to grab. Great climb! Get your kicks on Route 66

The route looks like you can layback the whole thing, but when you get up there you can't. Cruz is at the end going for the sloper jug on the left with small feet. I had to hang for a bit to figure it out.
