Description 

Crimpy with a contortionist crux sums it up. The climbing is good, but the line is somewhat forced or "squeezed" at times. Regardless this is a fun line with some great technical climbing.

An early contorted crux leads to a ledge rest at the 4th bolt. Carefully crimp up and left until gaining jugs - a fall here would not be recommended as you would hit and bounce off a small ledge... Decipher the next crux and run it out to a small slung tree - DON'T STOP HERE! Continue up and left to the 2 bolt anchor on top of Smooth Operator.

An independent anchor would be a nice addition to this route...

Location 

Located on the right side of the east blossom amphitheater. Left of Precious Orr.

Protection 

7 draws and 2 slings (tree) + anchor
