Description
The second line from the right on the West face of Building Blocks. Starts in a steep crack with good holds through a gear-protected boulder problem (easier for taller folk), then up easier terrain before a thrilling, well-protected roof. I won't give up the beta but it's a blast!
Listed as "potentially loose" in the Bingham guide, most of the Building Blocks routes have cleaned up to make it a top-tier City crag. The rock was generally excellent, with one obviously loose block in a crack but that was it.
