Description

This excellent line is a true endurance route. There are some difficult moves at the start, and a distinct crux moving through the two finger pocket, but generally speaking the difficulty is very sustained, with big moves between great holds and some really good rests.

Location

4th route from the left end of the Big Horn Wall.
