Description 

If you like sustained crimping and technical climbing on a vertical wall, you will love this route.

Start up the moderate 10+ or so, low angle face with a thought provoking move or so. The line trends to the right here before heading straight up once on the headwall. Rest up below the headwall on nice jugs, and get ready for the difficulties ahead. Continue up on a slightly wondering path utilizing crimps and sidepulls, on continuous climbing. Just before the anchors the angle backs off reducing the difficulty a bit.

I thought the crux was a deadpoint from a sidepull to the next clipping jug, definitely possible to get some air-time here.

Location 

Between "Blazing Saddles" and "Salty Dog" Two routes left of the obvious Tufa route "Conflict"

Protection 

Guide says 12 Bolts to Anchors, I think there may have been a few less. The route is aptly named and is definitely possible to take some nice whippers.
