Description 

Located on the Clock Tower, between Butt Luscious and Hair Shirt.

In the various shades of grey for route modification, this route lies on the extreme end of the continuum. The crux consists of big moves over a huge roof on drilled holds, including a shaped jug horn (shared with the route Hair Shirt) that is one of the most blatantly manufactured holds I've ever seen. On a lot of the routes on the Clock Tower, there are holds you wonder about, but seem (and probably are) natural... not this one.

As for physical movement, the climb is worthy of a star or two... a lot of people will like this route. I even thought it was fairly solid for the grade by Boulder Canyon standards, and downright sandbagged for the Clock Tower.

Protection 

9 or 10 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.
