Description 

This runout route makes a great top rope after climbing one of the adjacent routes. It would be a scary onsight lead due to poor gear and tricky moves. I thought the climbing was harder than Fascist Drill... (5.11b), which is to the right.

Start up Mission Impossible until it cuts left. Head straight up difficult dihedral climbing with stemming, liebacking, and palming. At the roof, pull onto the slab on hard to find holds and join Fascist... at the last bolt. This slab section would be very runout, unless you cut right to Fascist.

Location 

Directly below the rap anchors on Fascist Drill in the West....

Thin gear including RPs.
