Description Interesting face climbing up a vertical face littered with positive holds that goes over several small roofs/overlaps to a finish up a flared corner system. It ends on a spacious ledge with anchors and great view of the surrounding area.
Perhaps the best route of it's grade at the Holcomb Valley Pinnacles.
Location The center of three bolted routes that goes over several small roofs.
Protection 7 bolts, ring anchors
Looking up through the roofs on Vertical Epic.

| Sorry Chris for ignoring this one during the day we all ran into each other at HVP. I would love to give this one a spin! Soooooo, you're saying this one is better than 'Ricochet'?? :) |

| Great powerful and athletic route. If you're 6ft the clips will be easier. It may be better than Ricochet in quality of moves - but not quality of rock. |

| What a fun route! I liked this a little more than Ricochet and felt it was more consistant and sustained for the grade. Clips certainly easier if you're a little taller, but still should be manageable regardless. Highly recommended. |

| I'm 5'2" and found the clipping to be no problem actually, only a slight reach. Great sequence but ramdon anchor placement. |
