Description 

This is the desperate direct start to I'm not a Philistine. Touted by the Rifle guidebook as having the hardest move on the wall, this route follows four bolts up nice stone, and then connect with the finish of I'm not a Philistine.

Basically, the crux involves pulling over a small roof via small sidepulls, and massive, slopey pinches. It's a good challenge, but if you can't palm a basketball it might be wise to let this one gather dust and webs.

Location 

This is one route left of the Anti-Phil. Look for a small roof about 15 feet up.

Protection 

Bolts and fixed anchors. Might want a kneepad for the crux.
