Description 

A testpiece friction slab!! #2 of the "CO Northern Front Range 5.12 Pure Slab Trilogy" (my suggestions and all non-Splatte routes).
#1 is Between Nothingness and Eternity at Greyrock
#3 is Blood For Oil at Combat Rock
(Both are excellent Crago masterpieces)

Honorable mentions:

• ** Greensleeves on Rock Of Ages (steep slab crimpin')

• ** Radlands Of Infinity on Blob Rock (1st pitch is crux and it's a scratch-fest/ 2nd pitch is thin crack and funky slab---link pitches)

• **Razor Hein Stick on Bitty Buttress (short but fierce friction bumps)

Location 

On the Book. Long, bolted slab just right of George's Tree.

Protection 

10 bolts, a sling, and medium nuts or small cams. 2 50m ropes.
