Description 

Quite difficult just getting off the ground! A thin, bouldery, and sequency start, leading through a bulge with crimpers and underclings. Desperate climb! Fortunately, it eases up at the top

To find the climb, find Pretzel Logic and continue about 20 meters north, through the trees, past Motion Activated, around a right facing corner and into a dihedral. The climb going up the bulging face up the right side of the dihedral is the one you are looking for. Not on topo.


Protection 

4 bolts to anchors.

Definitely hard to star-rate this climb. Thin and sequency off the ground, but not so bad on a good friction day. The second clip is desperate, off miserable greasy slopy crimps. From there, another bolt and a half of good V4-ish climbing, then pretty easy to the anchors. I'm giving it 3 stars because I got sucked in and worked the moves (it's basically 3 or 4 good bouldering sequences), but don't blame me if you hate it...
