Description 

This route starts out climbing a right leaning crack (crux) and continues through some large huecos and ledges. In the Handren guidebook, this route is referred to as "Need to Rest," but Mike's original name was Idiot Parade.


Location 

This is the last route on the right side of the lower corridor, if you enter from the bottom. It is located just before the dividing boulders.


Protection 

Several bolts up to new chains.

A knee bar and a heel hook at the same time!? Cool! A fun little route that remained unclimbed all morning on a busy day in the Black Corridor. Fun stuff!

Great route but keep moving as it can be a pumpy little thing! Once you make it to the large obvious hueco you should be home free!

I really enjoyed the moves on this route! We had no idea what it was but the big hueco looked appealing so we had to give 'er a go. The upper edges looked like they could be slopers but are quite positive. This is nice because it feels steep! The knee bar in the hueco is cool.
