Description A fun romp up a thin seam, then face. Features a cool little lieback around the 3rd bolt (crux). Maybe the funnest route on this wall. Well protected.
Location Route on the left side of the Sex God Wall, starting up a thin seam just right of an overhanging section (where Say Hello to Geronimo is located).
Sex God Wall is the (popular) group of 6 lower angle climbs on the right end of Fairfield East, as you first get to the cliff on the trail.
Protection 5 bolts, Fixx ring anchor, shares anchor with Realm of the Venusian Sex Pygmy.

| I'd call it "adequately protected," as in there are sufficient bolts, but not "well protected." Feels slightly easier than its neighbor to the right, Pygmies. Both felt harder than the 7 indicated in the Bechtel book. |
