Another Pass classic at the grade. Steep juggy climbing up a corner, leads to a cool roof encounter, and a good rest after the crux. A few more technical moves, gain the chains. A great antidote to the generally thin climbing on the Pass.
Location
The farthest left route on Wild Rock's east face.
Protection
Bolts to a 2 bolt anchor--with a few old fixed draws at the crux.

This is one of the best sport routes I have ever done. I think the name is apt as the setting feels wild, and the moves, from hard slab moves, to big throws, to weird technical moves up top, are the definition of wild. I also think this is pretty hard for 12d. Maybe it was the altitude, but the crux felt very hard, made especially so by the pump gained on the lower, steeper section. And the upper technical moves felt oh so tenuous. I'll be thinking about this one for a long time...
