Description 

Best Sport line at the Mecca!
Requires balance, footwork, and critical thinking skills.
Mostly follows a right facing flake system with a few good rest.
Hardest move (IMO) is the first 2 bolts. Seems like a hold might have come off the start.
Two more cruxes, one at 6th bolt and one at the end, guard the chains.

Location 

First climb you come to after crossing talus field.

Protection 

15 bolts
