Description 

An easy enough looking .10a (bull) that will school you on judging a book by its cover! Jams are varied and difficult on this pumpy, sustained, frustrating, and exhilarating .11a route!

Location 

This route is just south of "Jared Diamond's Tower" - can't miss the tower - it's 'collapsed' and the trail leads under it!

Protection 

Bring everything you have up to to a #5. Chains at the top, but needs a quick link.
