Description

This is the second in from the left of the 5 routes on the "Scoop Wall". This route really requires some intense "Body English". Climb the desperate bulge layback kind of thing to the huge jug (crux). I have always found this to be really desperate, strenuous, and reachy. I've done it a couple of time and then not been able to do it at all other times. Up the wall past wild wavy chickenhead kind of things over the roof to the 2 bolt anchor.

Very Very cool route.

Protection

4 bolts plus a few small pieces.
