Description 

This is the highest route that you can reach on the base at The Distillery Wall without moving up the 3rd class hillside. Look for three closely placed bolts on a vertical face that tops out onto a small ramp that starts at ground level on the right side of a dirt patch in the middle of The Distillery Wall.

Climb the first 3 bolts, being really careful with the second bolt if you're not over 6', or move past to the jug before clipping. Top out on the ramp, move up through some vertical climbing, and then plow into roughly 70' of sustained crimpy, pumpy, almost footless, slightly overhung, awesome climbing.

Make sure you have someone follow you on a 60M or longer rope, as the route is about 105' long. Cleaning is a bitch otherwise due to the route moving to the left near the top and its length.


Protection 

14 (yes, 14) bolts to a 2 bolt top anchor shared with Moonshine (5.10c).

The upper section of Seven and Seven.  This is more representative of the the climb as a whole.  Yes, those bolts are closely spaced, and you'll appreciate it once you're on route!

Watch those rope ends, you MUST go into the gully if you have a short (60m or less) rope!!!
