Description Suggest change

This is a great long route! Start by climbing up and make some techy moves to reach excellent holds under the overhang. From here, score a bomber hand jam at the base of the crack in the overhang, find some feet out right, and work your way up the crack aiming for an awesome pocket out left (crux). After pulling the roof, continue up vertical face following a few crack systems. The wall will begin to get slightly overhung and then go back to low angle. As the route turns from overhung to slabby, the holds get a bit slopey. When you get to the top, be sure to look around and enjoy the nice view upstream of the 4th buttress. This route will use every bit of a 60M rope.

Location Suggest change

When approaching the 2nd Buttress from the 1st Buttress, this is the 2nd bolted line to the left of the large leaning rock tunnel. Locate the large orange hueco. This line climbs the left line out of the hueco through the crack in the roof.

Protection Suggest change

10 bolts, shuts. There are many placements that can be made throughout the route to supplement the bolts if so inclined, but they are certainly not necessary.
