Description 

Progressively more difficult climbing through tthe first half broken up by jug pockets. Big moves to an OK rest then a final boulder problem to the anchors.

Start up a low angle slab to the left of the bolt line. Reach out and clip the first bolt then move up into some vetical slots and a left pinch on a block, clip bolt 2. Some left slanting crimps lead to a stab for a 2-3 finger pocket with the right and the 3rd clip. Move up on some very small holds and very technical moves. Use a high left foot to get the highest left sidepull, stand up and stab for the next good 2 finger pocket with the right and the 4th clip. Some big moves up on sidepulls and underclings takes one to a big sidepull in the right side of a scoop, clip the 5th and rest. Move to the right with some big moves on positive holds and the 6th bolt. A final commiting big move takes one up to the anchors.

This seemed as hard as or harder than Sinister Dane 5.13b to me, so if Sinister Dane is 5.13b then so is this. Crux sequence might be V7 preceded with a bit of difficult climbing and followed by some big moves to a poor rest to some more difficult climbing.


Location 

Pretty much the center line of the sport climbs on the wall. Lots of chalk most of the time. Left of the project with the obvious glue.


Protection 

6 bolts and chain anchors.
