Description
This steep line of pockets, slopers and crimps packs in full value for 50 feet of climbing. Follow the bolt line and move quick to avoid the pump. Pull the lip and you're almost there. It's been called deceptively hard by more than one 5.12 climber...
Location
This is the third bolt line inside the amphitheater that starts just above a small rock step.
Protection
5 bolts
