Description 

Located 10' left of Pay Homage on the clean, west-facing part of the Vulture Walls and to the right of Scandanavian Dreams. This is a fun and relatively sustained route, by CWC standards. Getting to the horizontal crack above the roof is the crux.


Protection 

5 coldshuts to the anchors.

Pay Attention and Blanket of Secrecy were both installed and led by Tod Anderson, Richard Wright and Mike Lane a week after Ranger Bob gave us a alert on the arrival of the bolting ban.

5.10d/11a??? I found this to be tougher and certainly more sustained than Scandinavian dreams, so I would think it merits and 11b or c. Great climb, whatever it is. The bottom is of questionable quality, but the rest is stellar...

I've been back on this recently and I don't think it's .10d. The initial huck off the ledge is at least .11a, and then there's another crux up high. I think this might be a solid .11b, or am I falling victim to grade inflation?

Yesterday I screetched my fingers out of a slopy pocket so hard that a couple guys 75 feet away heard the snapping sound they made, and I got a huge blood blister on one of my tips. I typically don't rip off of .10s like that.
