This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

82 Crag's version of "Venus on a Halfshell", only better. This is a long enduro crimp route. Lots similarly-hard moves throughout and very sustained. Crux is more of a pump crux than a boulder problem (from what I understand). The crimps just keep coming and coming.

Location 

First route on the cliff that is right there when you top out the 5.4 intro choss pile. Has kind of a hanging-ish belay anchor. At one point I believe it was the farthest route to the right of the crag but I think there is something beyond it now (not sure)
