Description This route is located on the left end of the 'Cactus Rose Crag' This line is the furthest left route. The climbing to the first bolt could be a little spicy for some, but the holds are decent. The climbing gets pretty fun at the 3rd/4th bolt which are quite close to each other, there is a rib sidepull which is for sure the crux, but you will find better holds just above. This route is again a continuous one, like many others on this crag. A good intermediate route with fairly good protection.
Protection 5 bolts - 2 bolt/sling anchor.

| [Van Horn's] guides and [Green's] guide give it 11c/d and 11d. climbed it last night and it is definitely closer to these grades. not sure if [Knapp] might have accidently typo-ed in his guide. good route though, probably be 12b at [Cactus]. |

| Certainly not 10d. That must be a typo. It felt all of 11d to me. Continuously difficult ending in a tough set of moves. |

| I agree. Harder than 10d. Got off of it and was like "wow, some 10s are just crazy hard!" |
