Description Climb the right side of PO wall and make a huck for the obvious jug on the corner. Watch the swing into the tree...
Protection TR - be sure to bring a fair amount of webbing as placements above the route are limited and generally far back from the cliff's edge.

| To answer my own question, it now has at least one lead but it seems like a route that has been soloed as well. Ball Nutz and small cams were key. I started on the arete (completely avoiding Everleigh Club) and worked up into the incuts on the face, threw for a good sloper and then used the good holds on the arete to the top. Later in the day I was working the face between POW and Seven Seas and found that the upper face after the lip climbed well, so I re-led the bottom half of SS and then moved left to the middle of the face. Protected fairly well with a #0 TCU. Same grade for both versions, 5.11a R. |

| Nice job! I dont know if it has been led or soloed.I thnik it may be a first.How about Fibula crack or new light waves for leads.I looked at them a long time ago and might be worth checking out.Just be careful.The ground is always one bad placement away.I am psyched to see the DL legacy of hard leading being continued. |

| Thanks Rich, that means alot coming from a hardman such as yourself. As for the next leads...Shhh...you're giving the tick list away! I would like to add that I think the face between POW and SS is a possible 5.13. Pulling the lip directly will be stiff! I will add the route on MP. |

| Love this route! Agree with Remo, its a blast. The roof moves reminded me of Everybody Needs Friends down in Jackson Falls. |
