Blake on Rebel Machine

Description 

The anchors of this route were first put in by Mike Cronin. He gave up on it and I started cleaning it. I put in the top two bolts and then I gave up on it. Blake Workman finally came in and cleaned and bolted the rest of it. Then, I came back and with Blake's permission, managed the first ascent.
The route turned out to be excellent. The moves off the ground are powerful and they are immediately followed by a fingery crux. Thankfully, there is a decent rest after the crux, because the top, although it is easier than the bottom, can pack a punch.
It has been suggested by some that this is harder than 13a.

Location 

This route is the 2nd route from the right. It is to the right of The Encore and to the left of The Rambler.

Protection 

bolts (7 maybe), cold shut anchors.
