Description

Start by climbing up the arete, making some bouldery moves to gain the ledge under an overhang. At the overhang, clip the 3rd bolt and figure out which way to go to gain the 4th bolt (crux). From here, the climb eases up as you proceed over a clean face making use of very positive holds. This is a hard onsight. Figuring out whether to go right or left at the crux is not obvious. This route could benefit from more traffic to clean it up a bit.

Location

This route is located on the arete just to the right of the start of Maximum Overdrive, 5.11c and Cave Woman, 5.10d.

Protection

7 bolts, shuts.
