Description This route is on the Visor, which is a small overhanging wall at the top end of the Surprising Crag. The route takes the steepest line possible up the left side of the wall, connecting some obvious jugs. It starts about 10 or 15 feet from the left edge of the wall. NOTE: This is the most heavily modified piece of rock I have ever seen or could ever imagine. There is no way on earth that the jugs on this thing could have even started out as natural holds. All are completely comfortized for your dynoing pleasure. That said, it is fun, and the huge dyno is great for photo-ops. Also, the grade is probably more like a mid 5.11 (other sources call it 12b, however), but if you're short it is more difficult.
Protection 6 quickdraws (including 2 for the anchor). All bolts are brand new and totally bomber, and there are two rap bolts at the top.

| Well, it's probably a number grade too high. A similar, but harder route at Smith Rocks (Toxic), is rated 11b. |

| Great route and movement! A little soft though...wouldn't call it 12b, but well worth doing! |

| The only 12 I've ever been to the anchors on. Sport Park is also home of the only 11d I've redpointed. Oh well, still had a great time on the route. A fun TR because no one gets to dog around after they fall off. I love huge jugs up overhangs, too bad they are man made. I'll do it again for sure though. |
