Description

*Route name has been changed by the FA.

This is a sustained and good quality route, except the short flaky ledge system halfway up. Be gentle.

Climb the sweet slab up to the ledge. The last half of the route is steep sustained face climbing with very safe fall potentials, so go for those anchors.

Location

This is the bolted route in the alcove just left of Commodus.

Protection

7 bolts, 2 bolt anchor with hardware.

[Hide Comment] Yikes, this route name is homophobic and hateful. It needs to be changed. Jun 12, 2020

[Hide Comment] Thank you for changing this route name. A few years ago I put it on my tick-list thinking I'd climb here and photograph it to make a point. Being a gay climber, this route name needed to be changed. But I figured I'd have a hard time convincing the climbing community to change it. Now I live in a world where the climbing community has done that work for me. I'm thankful for this progress! Jul 1, 2020
