Description 

Perhaps the route was named as such due to the holds. It seems like they are all good... all 'clipping holds' so to speak. This probably is the best moderate route at the wall and the first and second pitch can be combined for a 60m lead with enough draws and a few long slings.

Location 

This route is at the corner of the crag, between the road-side and the right-side. It ascends a continuously steep line of tufas off of a boulder at the base. Climb up and left to the first anchor (20m) and then directly right for a few bolts, then turn up and left again to a second anchor. An old (still incomplete?) project lies above as a 3rd pitch.

Protection 

16 draws/slings to do as a single pitch.
