Description 

This burly number climbs the left panel of the bulge wall, with generally mellow climbing split by a brutal crux. Begin from the left end of the ledge, near a small, crooked tree. Easy moves left of the bolts lead to a tricky move gaining the break. Surmount the crux bulge via dynamic moves between razor crimps. The stone is flawless, but a bit sharp in places.

The crux is more difficult than the Stratabulge crux, but overall the route is less sustained.

Location 

Immediately left of Stratabulge, beginning from the broad ledge. Second route from the left end of the cliff, just right of Turbo-Charged....

Protection 

6 bolts, 2 bolt anchor. The bolt placements are a bit funky. They make sense if the draws are already in place, but if you're hanging the draws, the key (crux) bolts are out of reach from the obvious clipping stances.
