Description 

This is a fairly solid route for the grade, nearly all of it will have your attention. Start by grabbing the long horizontal ledge and pull up to gain a stance. Head up and left toward a thin slab. Make some very thin moves and head toward the overhanging upper section. Clip the last bolt and work your way up the right edge of the arete, making a desperate reach for the clipping jug for the shuts (crux).

Location 

This route climbs the striking white face immediately to the right of U Boat, 5.12a and about 15 feet to the left of the start of Depth Charge, 5.12b.

Protection 

6 bolts, shuts.
