[Hide Comment] Incredible Route. This wall is loaded with great 5.11s and this is one of them. Jump on using the cheater stack and pull a cruxy low roof using some thin holds, then continue up a meandering route (I crossed the bolt line 2 or 3 times) using a variety of holds to the featured upper wall. There are alot of options but no matter what you choose you'll be pumped clipping the chains.
