Description

Stand start with hands matched on the rail as far right as possible. From there, traverse left along the rail feature using a thin, right hand crimp, and a left hand sidepull low and left on the face. At that point, set and fire a left hand into the mail slot at the rail's end. The remaining topout climbs straight up using the stegasauras-like shaped jugs.

The crux involves a left hand move to the rail's mail slot; this requires a fair amount of accuracy and power. If used correctly, the right hand crimp can be very strong.

Location

It is on the West face of Fertile Rock.

Protection

A few pads and a spot, there is a large rock directly behind the problem start.
