Description Suggest change

Bolts and anchors added in the spring of 2019 making this a fully bolted sport route. Original description:

I initially figured that this route was named in the theme of a circus act and nothing more, but having done it now, I picture the name clearly when I imagine falling from the route. No doubt it would be spectacular. But no net would await.

Climb up on moderate moves to a sloping ledge and work out and right on slopers of shrinking size to clip the only bolt. Climb crux moves left of this bolt and up, them slightly right to reach easier territory just as runout gets truly disconcerting the climbing eases up to 5.8, but the crux is off of your gear enough to produce an interesting fall. I thought it was likely 5.10-. Gear can be had above, but it is poor. Continue to the ledge and pick an exit on so-so rock and gear to top out.

Location Suggest change

At the far left end of the Circus wall, some distance left of the arch, a single bolt can be seen a few meters left of a crack. Climb up the face in this general vicinity.

Protection Suggest change

4 bolts to anchors.
