Bob S starting up Velcro.


Description 

Start on the upper ledge and climb the left side of the light brown section. This line works mostly on smearing and thin edges, with the occasional pocket or protruding aggregate rock. At the 5th bolt the climb traverses up and right; the crux is passing this bolt. Continue over the ledge to chain anchors shared with Rurp Rip-off. A nice, delicate climb and fairly sustained. Rappel to descend.


Location 

On the short slab to the left of the main wall.


Protection 

7 bolts, bolted chain anchor
