Description

This hidden gem gets no stars in the guide book, but it is a fun outing. The climbing is mostly on good pockets and edges up a vertical wall. A good warm up for the hard lines nearby.

Location

Around the corner to the right of Tribal War 5.11b. There is a horizontal slash in the wall at the second bolt.

Protection

9 bolts to Clip-n-Lower anchors

[Hide Comment] There is an extension to this route and it goes at 10d. 4 or 5 additional draws to reach the anchor. Jun 10, 2016

[Hide Comment] This route is now longer as the original anchors are no longer there. Really fun route, but I'd say that 5.10c is still appropriate even with the extension as the extension is really easy climbing on big jugs. The crux is still down low. Jul 6, 2017

[Hide Comment] Great route! I was curious about the anchor position, as the extension isn't in the 2015 guidebook. The upper part was very fun! Aug 15, 2018

[Hide Comment] The left anchor bolt is spinning. It's an expansion bolt so I'm guessing the cone isn't biting. Other bolt seemed good. Jun 2, 2020

[Hide Comment] This has a little bit of everything. Thin steep moves early on to a rest and then jugy pocket climbing. Jan 26, 2024

[Hide Comment] Nice route. FWIW, I'm not sure that this is any easier than Wotai, which is pretty standard 10d. Jun 25, 2026
