Description 

Route is pretty sustained between the second and fourth bolts. Moving through and past the second bolt seems to be the most difficult stretch. Looks like a squeeze route but the moves are so good it was worth it. And if you climb the route true, you don't touch any hold on any other routes till you move past the fourth bolt. This route has become a "rite of passage" of sorts...I hear people asking for beta all the time at the gym.


Location 

Left side of the Hidden Wall. Second from the left, between The Hidden and Metal.


Protection 

All bolts

A hard onsight for the aspiring 11b leader but after you suss out the moves it fits right into the 11b grade. Take the line straight up at the last bolt for the full effect.
However, the route two lines to the west, Unknown 10d, is much harder. Maybe I stayed out to the left to much and missed some holds on the broken rock to the right, but I don't think so. Im of the opinion that an appropriate grade would be 11+.
The hidden wall was great place to climb this HOT summer.
