Description
This route has it all: heinous crimps, friction slopers, crack climbing, stemming skills, a roof, dynamic movement, etc. If it were longer it would be an uber-classic!
Begin climbing the obvious crack to the huecos and a small bulge. Next head up right through the dihedral to a large roof, traverse right, and then finish up the great dihedral.

- Note- It is possible to avoid the true crux on this route by going left at the crack up to the huge hueco and continue up through a series of better holds, eventually traversing right at the roof. This drops the rating a few letter grades.
