Description Suggest change

This route starts up a beautiful dihedral where a few side pulls offer gear if you're on the sharp end. Work up this dihedral, balancing on good side pulls with bad feet (one of the few times you may choose to smear on quartzite). This opening sequence is a classic Devil's Lake "the-ground-feels-all-too-close" crux. Scramble up about 20 ft and claim a well-deserved rest below the final crux. Plug your gear nest and fire for the lip below the tree. Some use the arete on the right; others don't. Either way, it's techy crux for the grade. Because of the deck potential at both cruxes, this one may feel like it leans into PG-13 territory, but it's still one of the better protected .11's at the Lake.

Small cams (extra 0.3's help). Medium nuts and brassies also work great here.
