Greg Jackson guns for arena thrash success on nine...
Description
This is one of my favorites. Starts out good hands and slowly narrows to thin hands and eventually fingerstacks, which is the crux. It then pulls a cool traverse to a rest and finishes on a #3 Camalot sized crack through a roof. This route is found on the leftmost prow of Cat Wall. Don't miss it!
Protection
Heavy on hands, thin hands, and wide fingers sizes. A few smaller pieces but nothing micro or bigger than a #3 Camalot.
(warning: more grade wankery at the creek) This is one of the all time best routes I've done at the Creek. I've got to say that, unless blue camalots are perfect hands for you, there is no way that this is .12a. Even the .11+ rating in Bloom's guide seems pretty generous.
This is a five star classic and it is not as hard as it looks from the ground. Anyone climbing solid 5.11 should be fine on this stellar route. The left bolt at the anchor may be a little loose.
