Description 

If I were to list off a handful of the top middle 5.12 sport routes I've ever done, the list would probably start out something like this:- Rifle's "Pretty Hate Machine"- Cal Dome's "Ginsu"- VRG's "Mentor"- Cave Rock's "Fire in the Hole"- AF's "Helix"

Strong enough endorsement?

Anyway, if you find the Black Magic cave, you can't miss Helix.It starts on the left side of the cave and spirals up into a hole.Great fun!

I STRONGLY disagree with the proposed quality of this route. It does not deserve to be included with the aforementioned group of routes....in my estimation. Truly an unpleasant undertaking.

Neal - I did not know you did not like hand jamming that much. The Helix is a TOTAL classic!
