Follow the left leaning crack system just left of the high roof routes. Lieback at the start, to a hand crack section, which is protected with cams and can be jammed or liebacked. Then cruising up an offwidth section on a ramp that's easier than it looks. The crux is at the small triangular roof, which is bypassed on the left using face holds or a reach to jugs straight over it. Protection is great the whole way, so this climb is one of the more popular leads at the ONP.
There is a direct start in the 5.11 range beginning 10' left of the normal start in a shallow dihedral.
The route's name is not in the guidebook and was provided courtesy of Scott B.
Location
This climb is route 4 in the photo and Jemez Rock.
Just left of the high roof identify a left leaning hand crack.
Protection
Rack: 1 set nuts, 1 set cams to 3" (3-4" useful but not mandatory). 2-bolt anchor, reachable from the top, was installed to prevent further damage to trees.
