Description 

It is pretty consistently difficult route for the rating. It has two cool mantles and at the top some amazing thin face climbing on small edges. Pretty fun and a good warm up.


Location 

This is the route second from the right on the upper wall.


Protection 

5 or 6 bolts and chains at the top. Go to the left and use the newer and more solid chains.

Really awkward start, but fun up above. The middle section is a bit contrived; it takes a lot of discipline to stay in the bolt line.

I did this as an onsite lead, and it was a little sketchy. The last bolt is about 10 feet from the top--there are plenty of good holds but the top ledge is kind of slopey. It looks like you could make a big throw to grab it, but you should make a few moves and work your feet up under you before you go for it.
