Description 

Start with thin, bouldery moves to thin hands in an acute flare. Pull a roof, and follow a splitter that starts thin hands and turns to sustained big hands/fists. This classic challenges you on a variety of sizes and techniques, plus it's ultra sustained.


Location 

Have a Heart Donna is the left-most (as far as I know) climb on the Pistol Whipped wall. Walk about 200 yards past Hijinx in the Desert on a faint trail. The climb starts atop a small rise.


Protection 

Single set 3/8" to 3/4". Doubles to 3" and (3) 3.5" pieces wouldn't go unused. (1) #4 Camalot (optional).

An obvious climb (once you find it).
