Description 

This route is harder than the reach dependent Sensory Deprivation. I Have The Touch is cruxy and takes some work to climb and is somewhat sharp and steep. The route is a ton of fun and good on cool days, gets sun and is at a cool location, just don't disturb the miner below.


Protection 

6 bolts, 2 bolt anchor/rap

Great climb but too many loose edges for this route to be considered a classic (3 out of 5 stars). One of my partners (Gold Hunk) suggested renaming the route to "I Had The Touch" after a key hold was pulled off. The last moves on Sensory Deprivation felt comparable in difficulty to the crux moves on IHTT.

Loose holds! I don't recall any particularly loose holds. Pull down, not out. Vern: Don't climb with people who are too young or too strong!
