Description

Thought-provoking and sustained 5.9+ that earns its plus rating around two thirds of the way up at a balance/slab crux. Avoid the urge to veer towards the easier chossy left side around the third bolt. Very well bolted with chain anchors.

Location

Bolted face just left of the obvious crack (Cracker Jack).

Protection

bolts, chain anchors

Totally! Great Climb. I would agree. Dont cheat yourself... There is a good dedicated move to the right that you'll do, and then thank yourself that you did!
Great finish as well! Oct 29, 2009

Really great route - thoroughly enjoyed it and was actually a bit giddy afterwards. Fun somewhat blind moves to good stances. Nov 1, 2009

Superb, must-do route. Question: When does 5.9+ become 5.10a? I think this qualifies as the later. Dec 31, 2010

Thought this was an amazing route. Felt 10ish to me. For this shorty, it had lots of blind moves. Great little roofy type finish. Loved it. Dec 7, 2012

This was a really fun route with three distinct cruxes. The holds are some what "hidden" at these cruxes - if you wait and feel around you will find them, however! Mar 6, 2014
