Description 

I have what I call the "Holy Trinity" of the Dark Side black slab routes: Black Awareness, The Cracks on Top and Muted by Reality. Enchanted Porkfist is my most climbed route in all of Shelf, but I use this as a warmup for these climbs. I LOVE!! slab climbs but I hadn't even gotten on "Muted" until this past spring, being warned off by all the "leaver gear" that used to adorn this route; but last spring I noticed it had been retrobolted and jumped on it. At 11a, I thought this a lot harder than the other routes I mentioned but a really fine route. I feel that Porkfist is a 10d , Black Awareness and Cracks on Top 11b/c and Muted a solid 11c!
