Description 

This fine pocket-fest is the left route on a wide panel of stone that gets relatively early shade, and features 3 5.12a's. Begin up an easy slab to a high first bolt. Two more bolts of easy climbing and the wall rears up to a slight overhang. A good shake from killer pockets at the 4th bolt offer one last chance to recuperate before the crux. A set of heinously thin pockets lead up and right to another jug. A long reach heads back left to a horizontal break and a good rest. From here, hard-to-see, black polished crimps and a cool hole lead up and left to the anchor.


Location 

3rd bolted route from the left.


Protection 

6 bolts, 2 BA.

Moving into the crux of the route. I'm thinking it's easier for climbers 6'2" or taller (like me).

A great route with a pronounced crux! As described above requires a very long reach, probably more difficult for shorter climbers.

Best route at BTONP, IMO. Crux is very sequential (which is unusual for White Rock).
