Description

This is a pretty good little traverse if you are running out of material at Rotary. I thought it should be added. It is pretty much a one move wonder that starts stemmed in the crack dihedral on the bolt wall. It goes right to left and the crux is staying on the wall while you remove your right foot from the stem. It lives up to its name as you grind your fingers into little crimps to stay on the wall. There's really only two or so hard moves after this and then an awesome cross to get the the easier terrain. Worth trying

Location

Traverses entire bolt wall from crack dihedral. You can make it a little more interesting by traversing the whole wall starting at the cat's eye wall but the rest before the tendonitis crux is so good that it doesn't offer too much to the climb.

Protection

Never more than a foot off the ground.
