Description 

This very aesthetic line tackles the middle of the broad green face left of Jules Verne and, despite its two bolts, offers spicy climbing much like its neighbors.

Begin on the left-trending arch 50 feet up and left of the start of Jules Verne (the coninuation out the arch is Cameron Tague's Weeping Willow -- 5.11+ X). Head about halfway out the arch and turn the lip at one of two spots (a big cam is helpful).

Step right onto the face and move up on slopey features past two bolts to finish either at the Jules Verne anchor or on Lene's Dream for extra value.

A sporty but thoughtful pitch on killer stone.


Protection 

Quickdraws and some big cams; maybe a TCU or two.

This is one killer pitch on great rock. This is a tough one to onsight since there was absolutely no chalk up there. Hidden edges continued to emerge as I climbed higher. However, there is some junk rock just after pulling the roof getting to the first bolt. Once you clip the first bolt, it's on like Donkey Kong until you reach the brown band above. Get ready for some "pucker" action above the 2nd bolt! Classic climb on a beautiful wall.
