Description 

An interesting yet not sustained 5.10a to the left of the odvious chimney left of Saviour Heart. Lots of lateral movement makes this climb through provoking and exciting on lead.


Protection 

Three bolts to a 3 bolts anchor atop the rock, bring long slings to top rope, which can be accessed by going around and up way to the right.In classic Far Side fashion, only the harder moves are bolted.

This climb goes straight up through the bolts to the deep Hueco by the last bolt. From there you can continue straight up (10+) or dodge to the right onto the shoulder of the rock (slab) which limits the difficulty to 5.9+/5.10-.
