BETA PHOTO: Moving into the crux moves- oh so pumped!


Description 

Overhanging jugs for 6 bolts to a powerful crimpy roof pull to a balancy finish. A variation to the right exists after the 6th bolt, but it doesn't look as nice as going straight up.


Location 

7th from the left.


Protection 

8 bolts to chains.

Climbed at WOC last weekend. Would whoever is putting the retarded tick arrows on F&L please move... or at least tick holds that you actually need to use on the route!?! IDIOTS!

I love this route. Fun, steep, and big holds. There are some unreasonable tick marks on this route.

I went right at the 6th bolt and had to do a pretty hard undercling move that felt like the crux. I did see two ticked holds going straight up though.

ticking is not to be tolerated on anything below 13. Especially on a route as chalked and juggy as this precious gem.
