BETA PHOTO: This climb goes up face and takes the variation to...
Description
The first route encountered when arriving at the Qual Wall from the Horse trail.
Follows a line of bolts up the face and takes the rightward line when bolts split at halfway. Continue up to the sweeping headwall for the bouldery crux.
I spent a lot of energy trying to onsight this climbing up then down at the crux but pumped out. I think it's a super good route long and fun lots of draws 13 with the top.

Ha, yeah Dobbe I had a similar experience. SteveZ and I were there for one last day of climbing in late November 08 at 33F and overcast. Spent a lot of time up and downclimbing from the jug right before the crux, each time trying to thaw my frozen, amazingly painful fingers on my neck, with less and less success each time. After the pain was completely unbearable, I yelled "take" (among other expletives) and got like 5% feeling back, pulled the crux, finished, rapped, and swore never to rope up below 45 Fahrenheit again. Can't wait until April to put this climb to rest.
