Ladd hanging out clipping the second bolt of this ...


Description 

The first time I walked up to this crag and layed eyes on the hueco on this route, I had to touch it...Its is the kind of hold that draws you in won't let you sleep at night... It just happens to be a bit hard to get to, and harder if you are tall...I am...But I eventually touched it and it was worth it...I love that hold....

This is the farthest line to the right at Vadar....
Starting up a bunch of jugs trending right...The good feet run out and so do the good hand holds....
The crux is gaining that beautiful hueco...Careful clipping the crux bolt, you don't want to blow that one (bad landing)...Delicate feet and scrunchy shouldery moves get you there...Save some energy for the last few moves, though not the crux, it's not in the bag till you clip the chains....


Location 

Far right bolt line at the crag....


Protection 

5 bolts to chains...Might want to preplace a draw on the crux bolt....
