Description
This route takes the left most line of bolts on the wall. The bolts sprayed into this wall are semi confusing, and I found the second bolt real hard to clip. If you move slightly to the left into a broken corner, the moves are easier on worse rock. At the top, you can move left to a slightly easier top out, or move right to a very easy top out, or go straight up for a contrived and harder top out. The climbing is good, but contrived, and the moves can be interesting if you pick and use the nice jugs.
