Description This route is fantastic! A gently overhanging power endurance fun factory where finger strength and fancy footwork are the key to maximum funning!
Start with a few bolts of enjoyably .11- climbing. Get an almost jug at the third bolt, and prepare thyself as the angle steepens and the holds get significantly more fun (smaller)and no rest till you clip the anchors!
The grade is a rough estimate, I really have no idea. It's definitely 5th class though, that's for sure.
As for the name, it really works best in a sentence. For example; "Hey man, have you ever tried reverse cowgirl?" "Are you kidding? It's one of my favorites, I do it all the time." "Yeah, it feels sooooo good if you go all the way to the top!"
Location This is on the gently overhanging wall between "Track Team" and "Eagle Block". Start off a boulder 10 feet right of the Track Team arete.
Protection 7 bolts plus anchors. Extended draws on bolts 3 and 5 are very helpful on redpoint attempts.
Ben having more fun than you!

| Erik,
This made me laugh. Nice work.
- And on the route, too. This is the face just right of Track Team with some triangular features at mid-height? If so, this was the next line on my list to equip before I left town. Sweet. |

| You got it, Chris! I've been looking at the line for a long time as wel,l and it really exceeded my expectations. It only took me about 20 minutes to clean after I bolted it! |

| This is not a first ascent. I have been top roping under that roof for like 30 years, and I am only 29. First ascent, my wonder balls! |
