Description

This is the first bolted route on the left after walking under the large chockstone. Climbs up the face and then fades right to anchors at the top of Wisconson Beef. It's best to have someone second this route to clean the draws.

[Hide Comment] I climb this route every time in the area. Crux is a leftward traverse between the 1st & 2nd bolt and definitely takes a bit of balance. Sep 6, 2005

[Hide Comment] This is a very fun route! One of the best Ive done in a while. Definitely a must do. There are new bolts on this one too, much better than the bolts for Wisconsin Beef. May 17, 2007
