BETA PHOTO: Steve nearing the first crux, pulling the roof. Lo...
Description
The first bolt is about 40 feet up but you can place gear on easy 5.8+ cracks to the first bolt if you don't feel comfortable running it out. The crux is found when you have to pull the roof although you have very good hands and a bolt right at your waist. The final crux is moving to the last bolt kind of a tricky slab move on thin hands. This one is rope stretcher a 60 m rope was not long enough to lower all the way to the ground.
Location
This route is hard to miss it follows a prominent corner up to a cool looking roof.
Protection
6 bolts and medium to small cams (I used a #1 Camalot and a .5 Camalot) 2 Bolts at the top.
I thought Knightline was two or three climbs to the left of this one. Not sure of the name of the climb pictured, but I believe it is more of a 5.10a. Knightline, which is more on the face around the left corner of this climb, goes at 5.10C with two sets of crux moves. I could be wrong... I will see if I can figure it out in my old guide book.
