Description

A tricky sequence right off the ground is the crux, which quickly eases and more moderate, enjoyable climbing gains the top.

Location

Located between SOB and Afternoon Shakedown.

Protection

Very little if leading, perhaps you can get some gear (1.5") in a horizontal near the top but most will solo or top-rope this route.

[Hide Comment] A very nice solo or top rope climb. Stiff for the grade right off the ground, but gets easier the higher you go... Sep 8, 2010

[Hide Comment] Very tricky. I proclaimed best 5.9 moves I've done on the park. Maybe trickier because first step I blew a hole in my left shoe.and the right shoe was close. Fun very fun Apr 16, 2013
