Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This climb uses a variety of powerful sloping side pulls, a few crimps and pinches. The technical crux is probably between bolts 2-4, but keeping it together until you reach the great jugs after the 5th bolt isn't easy.

Location 

Obvious sport route just right of The Thumb Aid Climb.

Protection 

5 bolts to fixed anchor. Helps with drag to sling out anchor. Can be top roped by climbing the backside.
