Description
Climb a gray streaked slab and through the roof to finish. Fun, technical climbing with a hard undercling crux at the third bolt is followed by steep, difficult climbing through the roof on mostly big holds. I broke a key foothold on the roof sequence (July 2011) which made the roof harder but shouldn't change the grade.
Location
This is just left of
Bovine Impact, in a secluded area that includes routes like
Red Dawn and
Bloody Corner. It's a few minutes walk from the Ruckman Cave, be sure to stay low on the trail, which is often heavily vegetated, and avoid the steep, nasty, sometimes muddy hill climb.
Protection
6 bolts and anchor.
