Description 

A great 5.11a on the far left end of Shipwreck. Slightly overhanging but with good holds and fun movement. I only wish it were longer!


Protection 

6 bolts and a bolted anchor

The undercling/start has gotten amazingly slimy and greasy, making it a bit less fun. I heard the good thumb catch for the right on that undercling had disintegrated a bit, too. Still a great route, though.

good route that sees plenty of traffic.

it's rated 11b in the new watts guide.

If the consensus is 11b then I can change it. It's been a few years since I've been on it.

while a good climb, it does not live up to its hype. try its neighbor, more sandy than kevin, for a better line.

This is a great route. I for some reason attempted to pull the route using the sucker- jug off to the right which then ruined my onsight. It is easier to clip the second bolt off of the jug, but hard trying to come into the undercling sequence afterwards. I don't know about 11b though?
