Jerry Moffatt on Der Letzte Zug.


Description 

The name is German for "The Last Course". This is a decent sport route on the upper tier of Coney Island Crag. It is the line immediately right of Joyride, and left of the 13b face/arete.

Make tricky moves up to the high first bolt, then move up under the roof and get ready for the crux. The crux is a difficult 3-4 move boulder problem getting past the 2nd bolt. Get a good rest after this then continue on sustained, pumpy 12- to the anchors. For reference, this route is WAY more difficult than Joyride, though only a letter grade harder... definitely recommended for those who whine about soft BoCan ratings.


Protection 

6 or 7 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.
