Description 

The opening moves on this route are stiff. Great face climbing all the way to the chains.


Location 

Upper ramp on left side of canyon just past Real Black Velvet. Stand GENTLY on starting block, clip in and now the business is IN YOUR FACE.


Protection 

Cams- from a #1 Camalot down and a couple of wires mid-size. Locking 'biners on the first draw suggested. Some long slings for rope drag will help. Belay down low.

Some of the bolts are in really funky spots, and some just create horrible rope drag. That's what happens when you bolt on lead! Still a good route, if you can downclimb to back clean the funky bolts.

A few long runners take care of any rope drag. Simple, single pitch rope management skills are all that is required. Enjoy.
