Description

Begin by climbing the steep bottom section on good holds to a decent rest. Veer right after the fourth bolt by completing some difficult, bouldery moves on bad holds to gain access to a large, hanging feature. Turn the lip mantling and complete the final, tricky pulls on the vertical face to clip the anchors.

This route seemed hard for the grade (12c) and the crux moves felt more 12+/13- to me, but it was also really dirty.

Location

Starts just above the "George" tag in the middle of the face.

[Hide Comment] Fun route with an interesting crux. The section on the upper slab was terrifying as it felt like you could catch an ankle on the rest ledge if you blew the throw to the horizontal jug band. Oct 21, 2010
