Description
Sustained vertical face climbing leads past 7 bolts up and left to an exciting finish. Route is somewhat gritty in places but also has some great features, including some interesting horizontal pockets about halfway up.
I’ve spent a fair amount of time over 10 years re-visiting this route to check the condition of the bolts and to clean the annual accumulation of loose crumbly rock around the route. The Rock quality here is generally less than some of the more popular climbs 100 ft. to the left on the main face. As the route has seasoned through fire and flames and many winters the holds feel sharper and the climbing is as bold and technical as ever. It’s not a friendly route for the grade, and feels rather desperate and so it has it’s haters. Thats fine. I will continue to defend this climb against the haters and appreciate the efforts by many commenting here who have truly taken on the challenges of this somewhat devious climb.
