This is another AF endurance route. This climb works you from the first move with tricky feet and sidepulls on an overhang. It has 3 overhangs so don't dawdle. You do get 2 good rests. The crux is at the second overhang where you climb over the roof on small sloping holds. There are some eye opening big moves on it too. The guidebook says 11d/12a. I believe it is a worthy 12a.
Location
In the Hard Rock area this climb is the third from the left. It starts on sidepulls under the overhang. There is a permanent draw on the first bolt.
Protection
Bolts to anchors. Top has biners but go prepared. 11-12 draws.

AF classic. Definitely feels on the 12a side. All of the moves are there. The most difficult part is how many sucker, chalked up pockets there are. This made it seem hard to stay on route. Hard onsight but whoa what a satisfying route.
