This is the left-most route on the face. After the 3rd bolt don't be suckered into going left up the juggy flakes, you actually want to move right.

[Hide Comment] Or, after the 3rd bolt go straight up (forgoing the right side pull). Mar 20, 2011

[Hide Comment] All of these climbs are good on very nice rock. Go anywhere you want, you'll get the moves. Is a cool place when it's warm. May 4, 2011

[Hide Comment] I felt this was the best route here and the only one worth doing. Fun moves with a big ledge in the middle. Aug 29, 2011

[Hide Comment] My wife and I did the two left routes and will return for the right-most. The climbing is great. ALL are worth doing. The middle route is less sustained than Kali Sacrifice but the flake is really fun. Crux is the upper couple of bolts off a good rest. Good climbs! Apr 24, 2012

[Hide Comment] Put this wall on the circuit for your Hills trips. All very worthy. Feb 12, 2016

[Hide Comment] Interesting beta in the description. After leading it maybe four or five times, I've decided the best way IS to go left, lever off a left hand side pull and work for the rail above the forth bolt--then clip from the jug. Your mileage may vary! This is my favorite of the three. Apr 16, 2018
