Description 

The crux is down low moving over the first bolt. Please note that clipping the first bolt can be a little scary if you're not confident at the grade. The next 3 bolts the climbing stays nice and consistent and this is the only reason I'd say it deserves the 10a rating.

Location 

Furthest right climb on the wall. This route is just barely to the right of barrier reef. Pay attention to the bolts as you go up. White Whale uses the glue in bolts and Barrier Reef uses the mechanical. Yes these routes are that close together...

Protection 

6 bolts/chain anchor
