Description

This was bolted on lead, so it is a little sporty. It has a little run out at the top, you have to climb through the crux to get to the next to and last bolt. This has good crimps with powerful lockoffs and big moves over a small roof. It shares the anchors with Doctor Doolittle and Push-Me-Pull-You. Climb up and left after the last bolt around the flake. Please use good sandstone climbing skills.
I gave it 12+ to 13- rating with the suggestion of others. I would be interested in hearing others' suggestions.
