Description 

Scramble up easy terrain to a high first bolt. Then it's on like Donkey Kong with smears, edges, sidepulls and finger pods. Finish either directly through the improbable looking roof of Render Us Weightless (5.8 or so) or by skirting to the right to the cool finger crack of Ball & Chain (5.10a).

Protection 

5 bolts. Gear for either finish. Chains on top.
