Description This is an excellent route! A beautiful crack shoots up the left side of the wall. Clip an old piton on your way to the top. This is an obviously attractive line as you are viewing the wall. It starts out very steep, cruxes at the bulge, but look for good finger locks. Hustle past the fixed piton, and ponder the top out. This one is short, but packs an old school wallup. Enjoy.
Protection Stoppers and camming units up to mid size.
Solo Old Aid.

Hence the name.

Damn straight. One of the hardest .9+'s that I have ever been on.

| THE hardest 5.9 I've ever done. It takes finesse, and time to dial this one in. |

| When I was at college in the Springs, we would throw this one at visiting Boulder climbers. A great sandbag. |
