DK enjoying the small pockets as he moves left twa...


Description 

Perhaps the best line in the whole area. Steep climbing on the right side of a little tree. The second bolt is a bit hard to clip. It's a good idea to pre-hang this draw. Small crimps, a slopey pinch and some pockets lead to a really good slab. After you clip bolt #4, make a leftward shuffle (using a pocket) to a HUGE hold and relief.


Protection 

7 bolts and chains

Check out that awesome black and orange limestone at the start! Great line on stellar rock! Long reaches to small crimps and pockets characterizes the lower half of the route, while the upper half is easy, juggy slab climbing.

Really enjoyed this route the second time. My onsight was blown by going left at the first bolt, but I nailed it my second go. Just stay right :)

This is quite a route, definitely not a gimme for the grade. A pretty bouldery start to some rather splendid face climbing at the top.
