Description Climb up in to a small cave, then pull the roof out of the cave and into a pod. Pulling the roof is the crux of the route. From the pod the crack widens from thin hands to offwidth.
Protection Standard Rack for protection. Two bolt anchor. Rap rings.

| Great route! Difficult, burly, and awkward. A #5 wild country or BD is nice for the wide crack near the top. Small-med cams protect the crux at the bottom well. This thing is definitely harder than 10a and therefore deserves the infamous 5.9+ rating. |

| Ah how I love 5.9+ this a fantastic climb, 5.9+ seems like a fair rating! Great gear, I left the #5 on the ground and was able to protect the offwidth section up top with a #4 Camalot by putting it deep in the crack. Besides compared to the rest of the climb the "offwidth" section is a cruise.
Great lead not to be missed! |

| Before I was clibing more regularly I did this route with a great pair of gloves that made the hand jams easier (maybe thats cheating) now I climb much harder but im sort of stuck here in New England, missing Mission Gorge to death!! |

rating: 5.10a/b
| Can somebody explain this rating? The four of us who spent a day trying to send this route all agreed it stands minimum 10a. Is 5.9+ a joking way to label 5.10 routes?
Also note that this climb gets much harder if you're shorter than 5 foot 10 in. |

| Probably the most awkward route I've ever climbed. |
