Description 

A varied line combining slick slopers, small crimpers, funky footwork, roofy pulls and weird crosses.

Crux is gaining the crimpers.

Location 

Sit start in a big hueco on the South side of the East face of Colon Blow. Immediately do moves up and left to gain two perfect crimps on the South face. Dive left to jugs on the overhanging prow jutting out and clamber up over it to jugs to the right. Problem #1 on the Dark Fighter picture.

Protection 

pads and spotters, pad that horrible sharp bush branch that will stab you. Somebody stomped the bush for no reason and made this nasty skewer just for your back if you slime off the slopers.
