Description
Broken holds at the bottom have upped the grade over the years. Climbing through the first three bolts involves desperate crimping and nothing for feet, and seems at least as hard as any of the sequences on Dinosaur.
Gaining the fourth bolt involves running it out on sandy rock. If the climber blows it at the end, the belayer will have to be attentive to prevent a ground fall.
After that, the rest of the climb is a delight, involving interesting movement on slopey dishes and surprisingly crisp crimps.
