Description 

A so-so route that starts good and interesting, with 5 meters of very nice jamming. Too bad it doesn't go on like that the whole way...

Climb up the right-leaning handcrack (2"-3.5") on solid jams for 5 meters through a decent bulge, just right of the Bull Fight Wall. After 8 or 9 meters, sling a tree with a 4" trunk and climb up and out on some cracks with smaller gear. Finish on a 2 bolt anchor with chains, 50' from the ground.

Location 

Just Right of the Bull Fight Wall, this climb is marked by its beginning--the obvious, right-leaning handcrack.

Protection 

Gear 2"-3.5" for the initial handcrack, a long sling for a small tree, then smaller cams and nuts up above, to a 2-bolt anchor.
