Description 

One hard pull off the ground (technical crux) and a weird move up high (endurance crux). It's a great route. This is the second route to have gone up in the quarry.


Location 

Middle of the wall.


Protection 

Cams, finger up to tight hands.

The route is not quite 10 c/d. It's more like plain old 10a. A good gear lead and a nice warm up. The first acent was done ground up on rope solo. It needed a lot of cleaning, so it was aided a bit but the anchor was hand drilled on lead. I lowered off pulled the rope and led it clean for the FFA with a little difficulty. The first move is tricky, but once it's figured out it's not bad. The finish is a little tricky as well, but good mental preparation for some of the other gear leads at this nice little quarry.
