Description
Hard-to-read moves through the initial roof lead toward a huge jug. Without the right sequence, the jug seems improbably far away. Clip the second bolt from the jug, side-pull your way to the third bolt (keeping your cool as a fall before clipping the third would be nasty), and finish on easier climbing.
Location
Immediately right of Monsters Under My Monster's Bed
Protection
5 bolts

1) I don't think its as dangerous as advertised. The first two bolts are going to keep you off the ground doing those hard moves. The third one is definitely not great and there is shit to clip from. I still think an attentive belayer could keep you safe through this whole thing.
2) This is definitely harder than the 11a next door. The start moves to the jug are pretty unique and challenging to read.
This is a great climb with a short, tough section right off the bat. Mar 26, 2017
