Description
The line left of "Speed Trap." It's the thinnest looking line on the wall.
The crux is clipping the 3rd bolt and getting two bad, rounded crimps and tossing about four horizontal feet to a in-cut jug at the lip!! The finish is easy 11 or 12?.
I bolted this line around the fall of 2000 and worked it for a very long time!!! I was never strong enough to get set up on the bad crimps and make the biggest hardest toss that Clear Creek has to offer. Although short, it's difficulty may very well be the hardest in the Canyon if ever completed. Good luck to all!! If you send it please feel free to rename it!!!!!! and let me know. I would love to see it go some day.
