5.13c, Sport, 70 ft (21 m),  Avg: 3.8 from 5 votes

Description

Begin with a double hands double heels on a slacktite. Move into a series of sidepulls using OK edges. The crux is moving off of two sloper at midway to an OK undercling, followed by a series of lockoff gastons. The climbing doesn't ease from there, as it remains extremely pumpy all the way to the anchors.

[Hide Comment] We keep finding kneebars on this rig. Two so far. We'll see if it affects the grade Jan 1, 2008

[Hide Comment] What a fun route. It's hard to believe that an additional kneebar rest wouldn't affect the grade of thing, since a lot of the difficulty comes from the sustained nature of the route. I say we just call it 5.13 and savor the rad movement this climb offers. Oct 21, 2011

[Hide Comment] Fyi that the start hold broke off a little while ago (which was exciting). I don't believe it has been climbed since, the start may or may not go. Aug 16, 2022
