Description
Psychostematic climbs through kind of an ugly looking slot, but the route turns out to be really fun. Belay from the second set of anchors from the left at the base of Psychobabble Wall. Start up a steep crack, then work slightly right up to a huge stance in a pod. From here, pump your way up the corner, finding great jugs on steep terrain straight up to the anchors. Be prepared to do some stemming to get through the crux.
