Description

A great lead for a solid 5.9 sport leader. This route is much better than it appears from the ground. Start on a large ledge and climb up heading left to a bulge and flake. Gain a stance, follow a left facing flake system that leads to a face with rounded horizontal ridges. Reachy last clip. Most of the harder moves require making the move before clipping the bolt.

Location

Start on the ledge, 15 feet left of the Walking on the Moon corner.

Protection

6 bolts, shuts

[Hide Comment] Nice movement on a good line that could seriously benefit from more traffic Jul 24, 2016
[Hide Comment] The bolt-job on this is borderline psychopathic. But the climb is actually pretty good. Nov 11, 2019
