Description 

This is one of the few "sport" climbs at Moore's, and a it's a good one at that. Good rock, great protection, and a short (read: 2 moves), powerful crux at the second bolt to pumpy but easier climbing above make it worth the effort if you're over scaring yourself shitless on the other North End routes.


Location 

The farthest left you can go at the North End- just to the left of Enduro Man and Filet.


Protection 

Quickdraws.

P.S. The last time I was there in January of 2009 I noticed that someone has placed a new, two-bolt anchor right above the fourth bolt- This is not the end of the route! The route continues on bomber fixed gear up through the bulge for another 20 feet to another anchor- whoever put the new anchor in has tarnished the route and obviously did not take the time to look up and see the little wires hanging out of the crack above- IMHO this anchor should be chopped.

If no one else chops it I will probably go back there eventually and take care of this mess. It's not even legal to add anchors like that, let alone botched ones. The route is short as is, let's not make it worse.
