Description 

This climb is a definite must. If you come here climb this one at least once! Ball & Chain makes for a good warmup, it will definitly get your blood flowing especially at the hairy moves at the last bolt! Other people have rated this climb a 10a although I am not so sure, it was a little hairy but not hairy enough to give a .10a.


Location 

Located on the westerly facing wall. Kind of follows the bolts up the arete.


Protection 

7 bolts, rings at the top.
