Description 

This route is located 20 feet to the left of Terror of Tiny Town. It is the bolted line that leads up and through a roof. It begins with a thin seam crack which deposits you on to a small ledge. Traverse the catwalk to the right for 10 feet clipping 2 bolts along the way to a small left facing dihedral with bolts on the outside. Cruise up the corner and head slightly right through some big flakes. As the flake peters out edge right and find stances in the folds of granite. from under the roof clip the bolt at the lip and get ready to pull extremely HARD up and over onto exciting holds to the chains. Wow!


Protection 

All bolts. Possibly small nuts and tcu's for the beginning and between bolts 5 and 6 if you are not feeling up to it.

One of the funnest routes in the City. Get ready for that last bouldery move at the finish. Take your time. If you cruise the lower section then you've got the technique to do the top problem without having to pull super hard. You can check out the move and retreat back down to the rest. Awesome.
