Top of the pic is a little blurry, but it should give you a good idea of where the route is.

[Hide Comment] Definitely one of my favorites...sustained with no real standout crux moves. Good rock and fairly long. Jan 12, 2007

[Hide Comment] I'd say there is a distinct crux move in the first twenty feet, I think after the second bolt. Basically it's the only move where you're moving off of holds that aren't quite jugs. Mar 28, 2008

[Hide Comment] Def. crux getting past the second bolt. Good jugs for clipping bolt #3. Great route, although not as generously bolted as Son of Belayer Slayer. Lots of good holds after crux, however. Dec 14, 2019

[Hide Comment] Did this again last week. Didn't seem as fun as I remember it being. Awkward crux move Jan 28, 2020
