Description

Super interesting climb that isn't over 'til it's over. The most sustained 11c I've ever been on. Climbs up the slabby black rock with a tricky beginning, so you might want to stick clip the first bolt. Watch out for a small bees nest in one of the pockets, I think somewhere around mid-route.

Location

Second line to the left of 'Trail of Tears' arete.

Protection

11 bolts plus 2 open shut anchors.
