Description

This climb looks like it could be 5.10 until you get on it. Crank up through the choss band to the first bolt and make some difficult thin face moves to the second and third bolt. From here make use of some sidepulls and underclings to get to the 4th bolt and a bad undercling / pinch. Pull hard and hit the left traversing crack. Make a few more difficult moves to hit a nice rest and easier ground to the anchors.

A little chossy through the undercling crack, but should clean up quickly. Enjoyable powerful movment. Might be a touch easy for 12b.
