Description

This is one of my favorites on this wall. This route had always been a MAJOR project for me, and I spent numerous hours on it trying to figure out the moves. The special redpoint day came after I took my last finals for school at the end of the year. It just seemed right to name this the Last Final in remembrance to the last day of school and the accomplishment of climbing such a great project.

The route starts on a large sidepull about 5 feet left of Law of Nature. Bouldery moves lead you to the start of the overhang. Tackle some hard moves to get over the roof. From here, a big move to a flat sloper is all that prevents you from getting this powerful route.

Location

Right side of the major roof. About 5 feet left of Law of Nature.

Protection

Top-Rope
The Last Final can be climbed from the same anchor as Law of Nature

[Hide Comment] Pete,

Didn't you send the route the day of the last finals? I think I remember that I had sixth hour off and got out there early or something? Dec 12, 2007

[Hide Comment] I bouldered this route today and felt it checks in around V4. A really nice moderate highball for the area. May 15, 2022
