Description 

About 20 feet left of License To Thrill are a pair of near classic 5.10 warm-ups, Caress is the left of the two, but both are worth doing. Not overly bolted, the pump factor can make both of these routes seem a number grade harder. Just stay on your feet and make the big reaches.


Protection 

Seven or eight draws and a rope.

Pumpy and polished definitely made this feel harder than .10a. Very fun with lots of big jugs, not to be missed.

The most polished climb I've been on in AF -- and that's saying a lot -- otherwise I'd give it four stars. Fun, steep jug haul all the way to the anchors.
