Description

The American Nightmare area hosts a handful of engaging vert climbing. Crimps tend to give away to pockets up higher.

There's a ominous un sent roof project (Diluted Limelight) that when sent will be a test piece for the area.

Getting There

Zone 5. Just past the classic Chainsaw Willy look for the "rock table" below Touch of Grey, a burned tree past that and finally the 10' roof of Diluted Limelight low on the wall.
