Description

Start in the back right corner of the cave. Go up the verical right wall on big holds until you hit the roof. Clip the first roof draw and take a little rest. When your ready shoot left on a long shelf. Either campus across or toe hook up where your hands are. You can also easily nab a few heel toe cams when you need to clip. Finish the traverse and then make one big move up and then you are clipping the anchors.

Protection

Bolted with chains at the anchor. Due to the steep and traversing nature of the route you have to have someone climb it to clean it.

This is right after the second bolt. The next two or three move there are no feet and it is easier to campus than to try to get a heel in the crack

You can continue past the first anchor to a second anchor about 20 feet higher. This is called Mr. Big (5.12-). Oct 24, 2006

Other interesting history to add to description: this was the first route equipped at X38 by Bryan, and the first in general. Nov 3, 2014

Regarding Eric's comment... Yes, steel draws are a great convenience, and safer. But, they cost at least $10 a draw, (if you have a pro deal). Expecting someone (most people tend to point at the developer) to buy them and put them on the route is rather frustrating for those of us that develop routes like these. Maybe consider ordering the draws yourself, and placing them on the route as your contribution to a good route? May 12, 2015
