Description

The classic route on the Circus Wall. Climb up and right above the lip of a roof on good holds, then make some strenous pumpy moves up to a good shake out. A final heartbreaker crux just before the chains provides a sting in the tail.

Location

Just left of 'The Down System' on the right side of The Circus Wall. Starts just right of the small roof feature.

[Hide Comment] Hate to be the one to say it but definitely sandbagged at 12c. Felt like rifle 12d, and in some places would be soft 13a.

Fun and quality route though. Not nearly as kneebar-focused as id hoped. Jul 17, 2024
