Upper crux


Description 

This route tackles the smooth face just left of a major left-facing corner (about 50 yards north of The Apple Bites Back). It's a sustained 5.11 face climb to a killer crux at the top.


Protection 

10 bolts. It's long, but you only need a 50 to lower.

Very tough crux bulge to flash.

Yes, hard to read. Great line.

This route has 10 bolts on it and the Shelf Road guide states 7 bolts. Luckily for me I was hang-dogging it a bit up top and could back clean a couple of draws for the final two clips. :-) Enjoyable route for sure.
