Description

A beautiful long line and awesome route with a great face section followed by an overhang before reaching the anchors. Take advantage of the rests before taking on the overhanging upper section. For bonus points tackle the overhang directly over the bolts instead of opting out left, it's well worth it!

Beware of the deathblock around the middle of the route before taking on the overhang. Your left foot just wants to stand right on it.

Dries quickly after a rain shower.

Location

Located past the 100-ft left of the extremely overhanging section of Y-12 known as the Vision Buttress and past the ledge system that is home to Shazam.
