In my opinion easily one of the top 3 routes at [Castlewood]. It is between [The Sub] and [Seamless]. A jump start followed by some powerful campus moves gets you to the first bolt. Then some technical crimping on small pebbles and sloppy little dishes lead to a toss for the big obvious jug. Get a shake then crank a couple easier moves until you are at the crux. It's a big toss left to a crappy little rock, get your feet on and your home free. The top, after the crux, gets rather chossy from the run off so tread lightly. Otherwise an amazing route, due to the variety of movement, from power down low, to technical in the middle, and a combo of the two will get you through the crux.
Protection
A stick clip is very important for this line, as the first bolt is about 15 feet off the ground and the start goes at around V7. The rest is closely bolted and no worries.
This climb is really sweet. There are multiple cruxes, I thought the hardest beeing after the big hole because you're super pumped, but highly recomended and much much better than Rim Job.
