Description 

Waterboarding starts just left of Interrogation. This technical, 90 foot route has three distinct cruxes (the roof band, the headwall, and the exit moves through the final hang / groove). Although the route has good rests, the climbing is surprisingly engaging. Climb blocky / broken rock to a high first clip (or stick clip); power through the roof / hang via small but positive holds; a technical section on the headwall yields the second crux; rest and then exit via the black overhung groove directly above.

Location 

Between East Germany and Interrogation.

Protection 

10 bolts; ring anchors.
