Description
This route start 15 feet right of "Consilience" and climbs an obvious blunt-arete to a two bolt anchor. The route climbs a lot better than it looks from the ground with a couple of hard moves on the arete. Cool moves up the arete to the crux near the fourth bolt. Reach a good two-finger pocket and one last hard move gets you to the anchor. Good route from the hard-working Mr. Kodas.
Very good, with several baffling cruxes. Three people did the hard bit at the fourth bolt three different ways, but all were fully engaged higher and wondering what Bob would consider to be a "bad" two finger pocket.
This isn't one of Vaino's typcial Mr. Science names... were you going around in circles looking for Divination?

An excellent pitch. Fun moves, clean rock. Sustained, thoughtful climbing from the fourth bolt to the top. The two-finger pocket is really good!Would be a three-star route if it were twice as long.
Young Doug...I led this route, and my partner Kevin led it's neighbor to the left. Both of us agree that this route was a full number-grade easier..We also both agree that this route was not as hard as Super Slab. mmmm.
