Description Fun and hard tufa pulling. The first twenty feet are nothing special, but the following thirty feet are great. Really fun movement over cool features. Crux is at the top.
Unfortunately, the last bolt is in a less than favorable spot. I would have placed the bolt closer to the clipping stance, but the rock was very hollow sounding when tapping it with my hammer. I even went as far as to drill a hole where I wanted the bolt and got nothing but dust, no rock. I placed it in the closest solid stone. The clip adds a little inconvenience, but at least it is safe.
Location It is the last route on the right side of Tufa City before you get to the rope access that leads to Tufa Yard Dash and the other routes at that ledge.
Protection Bolts to wire gate shuts.

| Super Fun features. Kinda loose rock leads to great tufa climbing to a crux just before the anchors. Tip for shorter people extend the last bolt so that clipping is easier. Well bolted red. |

| Hey Pat how is this well bolted if shorter people have to extend a draw? Poor Yunyin. Damn you Lucas! Ha ha. |

| I did this route and thought it was overall thought provokingly awesome tufa climbing. I thought the bolts were where they needed to be. I agree, the bottom is just toast, but the top portion is creamy butter! |

| Nice work T~w/B! I'm pretty sure you grabbed the third accent.
This route saw a lot of traffic this weekend; three more sends with one being a flash. Very fun to watch! Already six sends in its first month, good stuff!
Eric, as far as I know, Pat is the only person to extend the last draw. The person that flashed it is not taller than you. |

| @ Eric, The one thing that Red forgot to mention about the guy who flashed it he's a 13+ climber. So yeah. There goes that argument. |
