Description 

Two lines to the left of Never Believe, this short route packs a powerful punch. Climb the overhanging right facing dihedral, then move up left and up to the ledge to the anchors. The crux revolves around a thin, funky move that gives many people trouble. Good footwork is the key here. The rest of the route is enjoyable overhanging climbing, but quite short.


Protection 

5 bolts, two bolt anchor.

Can't get dropknee or fingers in holds at start. Seems harder than 12b if over 6'. Rest of route fun .11-

Anonymous Coward, Try a kneebar with the right leg in the big hole and left hand to a little crimp thing, then up into the crappy holds of the route. Seen it work wonders for tall people. Cheers.

Knee bar over the first bulge after the crimps works sweet for clipping. I loved having to mantle the second bulge to reach the anchors.. very bouldery.
