Description 

Beautiful line with the Crux getting from the first to the second bolt. Belayer should be attentive here, as there is a large block at the base of the climb that would suck to hit. There seems to be a mild lack of concencous in rating this route, as the online guide calls it 5.12a, and the "Taos Rock" calls it 5.11d/.12a. It seems to me to be on the lower end, .11d.


Location 

This route is the second one in from the arete on the far left side of the wall. Look for the mutilated, bolted Barbie inside the hueco just below the first bolt.


Protection 

6 bolts to anchors.

Barbie has been mutilated again! Her leg is now in one hole and her torso in another.

This route gives me the business in two spots--going from the first to second bolt and clipping the last bolt before the chains. It's super fun!

Really enjoyable route. The start is hard to the second bolt but for me the crux of the route is moving up to the 6th bolt to clip.
