Midway up the route.

Description 

The warm-up route for the wall. There are a variety of sequences for the crux, some make it significantly harder. Not the best route on the wall, but a decent route with a few interesting moves.


Protection 

Four bolts, two bolt (chains) anchor. The first two bolts of the route have old, thin loooking hangers, however when the climbing gets hard, the bolts get better.

Terrible warm-up. Awkward climbing to a hard one-move crux. Suck it up and do Monkey Wrench which has about three real sloper moves and is more even in difficulty

I would have to disagree about the warm up. This route can be done with good moves, no awkwardness, if the correct beta sequence is discovered. If you are pulling a super hard move at the end, keep thinking because you are using the incorrect holds. Pretty much everything up there is chalked, but that doesn't mean you should use all of those holds!!! Monkey Wrench on the other hand is purely an awkward and weird route.

Alan:

The horn beta is what I use, and that is why it feels easier since I can skip those nasty little crimps. I hated the route until I figured this beta out!

Based on your wingspan you may be average, although if one looks at your climbing resume, it would be difficult to assign the words average to any aspect f your climbing.

Having done every route on this end of the crag now, I agree with the coward. It's not a great warm-up. In fact, it doesn't seem any easier than the 12s. But maybe that's because I always end up campusing the last moves!

Really fun! Lots of climbing packed into a fairly short route.As for the warmup issue - there really aren't any warmups at this crag.

Agree with Nate, love this climb, there are no great warm-ups on this crag, that kept me away for awhile and rightly so, but if you want to be a high 11 or 12 climber what a great crag. Some very interesting learning to be had if you are breaking into the high 11 to 12 range. Once you figure the beta this warm-up route climbs well, with really fun moves, without the right beta, it's an awkward, burly feeling climb.

A fine climb. If you're a solid 12 climber, it's an excellent warm-up. Gets harder as you get higher, so your muscles don't get shocked right off the deck.

This route has always had some scruffy charm to it...for some reason I have always enjoyed it more than most. Whine-inducing 11d crux up top.
