Description 

A great face climb up the center of the wall with good rock and engaging moves. Protection is enough to call this a sport climb.

Originally rated 5.11a, some broken holds at the crux have bumped the grade up a few notches. The climbing tends to be more or less verical with the crux involving thin edges and technical footwork.


Protection 

8 bolts, anchors (all 3/8")

Worth noting that one of the bolts, I believe its the second, is missing the hanger. May be sporting a hitched nut.

I left a wired stopper with a locking biner on the hangerless bolt a couple of years ago but I have been told it is no longer there. This route would deserve more stars if the rock was better quality at the crux.

I'll add a hanger next time I'm out there if needed. Agreed about the rock quality - that's one reason holds broke off at the crux.
