Description

Move over the roof to start. head up the steep face past a couple of bolts to a section with some smaller pockets before things get vertical. A hard move at the end of the vertical section at a blank band of rock goes either left or right. Rest up well in the break. The hardest moves on the upper wall are right off of the rest. Use underclings to make a long move up onto the first 1 1/2 pad edges. Continue out the 45 degree wall on similar holds to a jug right where the angle lessens, try to rest then punch to the first anchor.

Location

The second route from the left in the Madness cave. Starts off of a boulder at some pockets in a roof.

Protection

Bolts and a bolted anchor.
