Description This is a very unique route. There's nothing else like it in Rock Canyon, or even American Fork. Just about every hold is a huge, juggy pocket. The pockets are awesome! Also, this route has the world's greatest undercling. Enjoy!
Location The left-most of the two obvious, pocketed slab routes on the right side of the Wild. Just right of the corner crack that is Heart of Darkness.
Protection 4 bolts to chain anchors.

| As good as it gets! The hard part is deciding which amazing holds to actually use. There is a perfect 2 finger pocket on th left as you move up to bolt #2 and the best undercling in the world just past #4 on the right. There is NOT a better 5.6 in the canyon! |

| Though short, this route is really unique and fun. How many other 5.6s are there in the area that are better? And there is only one other limestone 5.6 in the canyon (the direct start to the first pitch of Cool World). So, when compared to other routes of its grade, I think this is a fantastic route. |

| I did this route again yesterday and was surprised to find it relatively dirty. The rain must wash down dirt and pine needles from above. Too bad. |

| Yeah, I had the same problem, but it wasn't a big deal. This route is a lot of fun. |

| I gave this one four stars to make up for the bomb on Antelope. :) Great climb on outstanding rock! |

| Climbed this one again, and if I had a vote, I'd say it's the best 5.6 in the canyon. Awesome line, great pockets and holds. |

| This is some of the most beautiful rock I've seen in the canyon. Easy climbing on perfect pocket holds. |

| Arguably the best single pitch 5.6 in the canyon. |

| Perfect route for those learning to lead climb. The area is also great for a "social climb." |
