Description 

Great pitch. Short but packed with fun, pumpy moves. Be careful getting to the first bolt, you may want to stick clip it.


Location 

Farthest route to the viewers left on the Twilight Buttress.


Protection 

5 lead bolts, maybe a small cam or two for protecting the moves to the first bolt, 2 bolt anchor w/chains.

ya, it is a great route! A bit hard for a warm-up for me. You can protect the moves to the first bolt with a small tcu (blue or yellow?). From the top you can scamper up to the upper anchor and TR the two routes to the right. The middle route is 11ish and in the book, the crux at the bottom is crimpy and hard!. The right route is not in the book but is very fun (on TR anyway).
