Big in Japan


Description 

Brief, but good grief!
Great little route that gets too business from the start. If it were a little longer it would be a classic. Just go for it!


Protection 

4 bolts + 2 rap hangers

Good grief is right! Fun, but pretty damn scary!

Powerful with a sequential upper section. Someone was kind enough to point out some inobvious holds and key footwork for me. Short enough that it definitely requires an attentive belayer- years ago I landed on my slacker-belayers head after try to pull the crux. It did a excellent job of stopping the fall.
