Description
The route climbs out the roofy stuff to hanging groove right of Carrying Futons, then stays along the right side of the arete through some crux moves. You can finish right or left at the last bolt. Technical arete moves and good climbing throughout. Be careful of the hollow block down low.
Great route albeit a bit of a squeeze job. Killer knee bar getting over the initial roof (not the crux), had to stay disciplined not to veer left or right to the neighboring routes. A crux at mid-height replete w/ knee and hip scum will take off the edge while looking for a little crimp to get over a slight bulge. Slightly sporty in a couple places – as most new routes will clean up and become quite good – 2 stars (12a/b). Great addition to the Patio!
