Description 

I really like this climb. It's a sport climb, but feels like a trad route. When you stop and think about it no move feels harder than 5.5. That's as long as you stem up the corner properly. 5.7's on limestone usually aren't this fun or thought provoking. It climbs up and to the right, ending in the right side of the roof.
"Remember, concentrate on the moment. Feel, don't think. Trust your instincts."-Qui-Gon Jinn from The Phantom Menace.


Location 

This is the large left-facing corner under the huge roof to the right of the large arch.


Protection 

7 bolts and anchors.

This one is a good warm-up, but seems a little technical in the middle for a 5.7. But that's just my two cents.

Maybe I didn't "stem up the corner properly," because I thought this felt a little harder than 5.7 as well. Very fun for the grade.

Spoiler alert: work the down pressure! If it feels hard than 6ish, look for a hidden hold, or better feet.
