Description
Beautiful and proud mixed line up the steepest part of the wall. Start the same as 'Slang' and use the first bolt if you'd like. Follow the rightward slanting crack up through the streaks to the two bolt crux. Bomber gear down low, bring a .5 camalot, .3 camalot, and one large nut. At the bolts make some powerful 5.12 moves right before the seam fades away to nothing. Bust out left and up to a really good pinch followed by more gear plugging to the top. Lots of fun!
Location
North side of The Shrub. Starts on a crack that branches into two. This is the right slanted crack that goes up the steepest part of the wall.
Protection
2 bolts and finger size gear up to .75. Chain anchors.
