Description 

This is an excellent route! The namesake of the Sonic Youth cliff, this route climbs through a series of pockets and crimps on the lighter-colored rock just left of the waterstreak. The crux starts past the halfway point and continues through the top (endurance), which includes pulling a bulge on some small crimps. =)

This is a "must do" if you visit this area of Sandstone Quarry!


Location 

This route climbs the left side of the obvious water streak up the far right (west) side of the sonic youth cliff.


Protection 

5 bolts to anchors on the upper bulge.

I agree with Gary. It's significantly harder then Yaak Crack (5.11c/d).

probably no move harder than .11a/b, but sustained enough to challenge you. Felt easier than Native Son and Cujo, but definitely more of a pump factor.

A lot of crimps but really great feet. I loved the exciting finish!
