Description
This is one of the best routes anywhere. Climb a crack just right of a slab leaning against the wall, about 200' left of Wiessner Slab. Just to the right of this is the roof marking the start of Subline.
The crux is near the top but the whole line is tough with few good rests.
The traditional grade on this is 5.9 but it's certainly comparable with 10a in the west.
