Description
This route starts on the ledge system on the NE corner of Challenge. It climbs an overhanging section working to the right as it goes. The anchors are not visible but are there (no chains or rap hangers) on the right end of the traverse. The traverse is what makes this route. Initially, one will feel the urge to clip bolt 2, almost skip bolt 3 and go straight up. Don't!!! The moves that make the climb are on the right traverse. Stay low, and make those lunges. Walk off.
