Leading the mantle, about half way up. Most of the...


Description 

This route is about in the middle of the slab just right of Mr. Cornflakes. At the base of the route is a large block (about 2.5 feet tall). You can use this to distinguish it from the many other bolted routes on the slab.

The crux comes in the middle of the route where you clip a bolt from an easy stance and then try to move up with little to no hands.


Protection 

Eight bolts. Double bolt anchor with chains at the top.

As the name suggests, a mantle at the crux (in the middle of the route) helps a lot. Great moves, and fun climbing throughout.
