Upper crux.

Description 

This route tackles the smooth face just left of a major left-facing corner (about 50 yards north of The Apple Bites Back). It's a sustained 5.11 face climb to a killer crux at the top.


Protection 

10 bolts. It's long, but you only need a 50m to lower.

This route has 10 bolts on it and the Shelf Road guide states 7 bolts. Luckily for me I was hang-dogging it a bit up top and could back clean a couple of draws for the final two clips. :-) Enjoyable route for sure.

I thought this was a great route very sustained with a nice jug before the crux. Hard to figure out at first but not bad with good beta.

Very tough onsight. Hell, it was hard after I took at the crux, lol. Tricky, but awesome and very unique. Stays with you the whole way.

Hitting the crux in sequence is very difficult, a take/fall at bolt eight lets you cheat the beta pretty hard.
