Description 

Begin by following three bolts up an easy, bulging grey slab.

Next, start the technical journey up the slightly overhanging wall past varied climbing through pods, sidepulls, crimps, and pinches to a technical crux in beautiful grey rock, consisting of a dropknee and two shallow pockets.

From here it is fantastic climbing over beautiful french-esque rock to anchors.

About four routes right of the start of the Wailing Wall on the left side.

Despite the most vague route description in mp history, this line a.) is concensus 12c, and b.) about four routes right of the start of the wailing wall on the left side. Follow three bolts up an easy, bulging grey slab, then begin the technical journey up the slightly overhanging wall past varied climbing through pods, sidepulls, crimps and pinches to a tecnical crux in beautiful grey rock, consisting of a dropknee and two shallow pockets. From here it is fantastic climbing over beautiful french-esque rock to anchors. Maybe in the future dont bother posting route descriptions if your not going to give even the slightest hint of where this route might be, or any real info about it...

Sounds like a re-do is needed for the write up. We should just use Ben's....and I agree w/ him...this description didn't go beyond the guidebook...

Congratulations, Ben! You're the proud (adoptive) father of this description.

(Annie M. Hatier, I emailed you a couple of weeks ago about these poor descriptions and didn't hear back.)
