Description 

The Fly is two bolts long and that the route ends on the E-Ticket ledge about twenty feet up the wall. There is an undone project (partially) bolted to the left called Super Fly. To call this climb a route is a stretch, since there is probably fifteen feet of actual climbing on it. The first holds are bad rounded crimps, followed by a long thin sidepull, followed by a sloper that is used to clip the second bolt.

This route has been bouldered.

Check out the video @ The Fly

I have not ever been on this route, just thought it warranted a spot in the databse, if anyone has climbed this route, speak up, tell us about it, let's update the description.


Location 

Obvious Super-Hard short face in the middle of Waimea cliff


Protection 

Two Bolts to Anchors on E-ticket Ledge. Stick clip and pull hard. This route has been both bouldered and sport led.
