Description
Want to feel like you're climbing a route in the mountains but don't want to be bothered to actually have to walk all the way up there? This route is for you. It's long, follows a sort of natural passage up the rock, and stays interesting the whole way up. Really good rock is broken up by a few bands of chossy white loveliness. The crux is surmounting a bulge at the 8th bolt. Hint: go right, but not too far right.
A lot of the ledges and holds have small pebbles on them. It's a good idea for the belayer to wear a helmet or to hide under the overhang at the start.
This is the only route on the wall with tan powder-coated bolt hangers.
