Description

One of the shorter routes at the Owl Tor. Some of the locals don't like it. Other climbers love it for its short, bouldery crux. Either way, it has some memorable—and very powerful—sequences.

The crux comes about halfway up with a strenuous move off a crimp to a poor two-finger pocket, then a rather dynamic lunge to a jug. Then you just hang on till the chains.
