Description
Ride, ride, the turtle. This is a super cool rock climb with great moves, variety and a few cruxey sections.
Start up a short but thuggish hand crack to a ledge in a corner that tapers out above. Climb the corner (bolt) to the top then use corner technique to make a step right gaining a sloping stance. Clip a bolt then make a thin cruxy traverse right then up a crack to the top.
Lower from bolted anchor with biners.
Originally led on all gear and a pin it was a very committing route. The addition of a couple of bolts make this a real fun route for anyone comfortable at the grade.
