Description

Starts up an easy slab to some harder than it looks moves, clip a double long draw, then stand up and clip another off of a left hand side pull and then climb back down into the pod and rest up. Moving back out of the pod make a big right hand move followed by a heel-hand match to an undercling, from here you gain a big jug hueco and clip another short draw. Rest here again, the crux cometh: large dyno to a left hand pocket followed by a handful of moderately hard moves gains the finish jug of the crux. stem up inside and head right along a sloping arete to clip the shared anchors for Speaking in Tongues. If you head straight up after the crux you're on Golden.

[Hide Comment] Fairly height dependent getting into jugs. I'm 5'10 almost 5'11 and I gotta REACH for jug at the crux. Mar 29, 2011

[Hide Comment] If instead of going for the long dyno move to the jug use the slot for a foot jam and use the little arch right hand undercling stand up to a sharp left hand gaston bump right hand to a small side pull then adjust feet then bump right hand to a sloper in the bottom of the hueco then left hand to a good slot hold then right hand to a jug. Do that and i think this thing probably could go at 12b/c. Mar 11, 2016

[Hide Comment] I never used the hold up and left, as there was an easier sequence straight up. Nov 9, 2017
