Description
Boulder up a short face to a sloping ledge and from there make a series of technical, strenuous moves up an overhanging wall past a flake to a horizontal. From there the climb continues up steep rock past more horizontals to the top.
Usually top-roped this climb is a great climb to pump out on as it is a far cry from the usual slab paddling found in the Park. This climb also makes a great lead/workout climb for those so inclined.
- Some good footage of John Bachar soloing the route back in the 1980's - youtube.com/watch?v=03udLvt…
Location
This climb is the centerpiece of Sports Challenge Rock and is located two routes to the right of Clean and Jerk and just right of a large pine tree.
