Description 

If this route would just go on forever, my life would be complete.... The flow of movement and aesthetics on this climb are great...the only problem is the it's only 100ft long.... For a great climb of a consistent grade climb bombardment(5.8) to Black Lung to Final Gesture(5.8), an awesome link up....

Start up easy ground maybe 5.6 for the first 2/3 of the route following cracks and jugs to a pretty right-facing corner/crack move through a technical crux 5.8 jamming and finding the somewhat hard to locate feet (mostly out right).... This will leave you at the first belay on Upper Refuse (5.5)....
Belay from here or run all the way to the top of Refuse with a stretch of a 60m rope...or finish up Final Gesture which is a fave of mine....

Location 

On the far right hand side of the Barber Wall Ledge just right of the ramp start of upper Refuse and left of the Book of Solemnity....

Protection 

Regular rack....
