Description 

This is a great mixed climb starting just to the right of Intimidation behind an Aspen tree. The start is 5.10 fingers. Climb up to the horizontal and traverse right to the main crack that curves to the left then goes straight up. Climb the crack until it becomes a thin seam then goes to slab. 3 bolts protect the seam and slab section. The crux is moving over the first bolt.


Location 

This route is located on the west side of Blair III between Intimidation and Ledge of the World.


Protection 

Small cams (up to #2), nuts, and 3 quickdraws.

Great looking line. Amazing that it's gone unclimbed until now.
