Description 

Better than Lies and Propaganda...at least in my humble opinion.
This line starts just left of Lies and Propaganda and climbs straight up on decent holds, making some fun moves that are a great lead at the grade and a good warm-up too.

Maybe it is Jay. I'm pretty ambivilant when it comes to route history...

I'm not sure...I have heard it called Hippos, but this doesn't mean much.
