Description Just right of Red Light District. This pumpy climb will tire you out quicker than you think. It is very consistent, and doesn't allow much resting. You might find a stance to rest just before the second roof (Between bolts 3 and 4).
Protection 5 draws for the climb and 2 more for the anchors (Chains)

| Mama mia what a sustained route! Bring your best boulder moves, yoga flexibility and muscle endurance. This line had me dripping sweat, even on a cool, cloudy day. No fluff at all in Ruckman's .10d label. I rate it a touch harder, given its relentless nature. |

| From the first bolt to the last, this route stays tough. It has that S-curve down sloping hold thing going on. It feels 10.d all the way up and, because it is so sustained, seems WAY harder than the 10.d next to it. |

| Good route, and will give you a solid pump on it. Bolts are in good condition on this route. |

| Fun route that starts tough and doesn't let up until right below the chains. I thought this was a little harder than Black Monday (11a) on the same wall, but maybe I was just having a bad day. On the crux, I went right which seemed to be the way most people go, but my friend went left which looked a little easier. Not sure if that is the intended route though. |

| ^ i agree this was harder than Black Monday, probably just due to the sustained nature seeing as Black Monday felt like 11a for only the 3 bolts on the over hang. The intended route also kind of escapes me on this climb. |
