Pretty average short sport route on gritty rock. Stays fairly shady and short enough to set up a top rope on and get some laps.

On the Llama Wall, right of Llama Enlightenment. Shares the first bolt with Llama Sutra, but continues left.

Protection

5 bolts, mussy hooks @ anchor

[Hide Comment] Ok climb to do once. Would not recommend for a first time lead. Apr 15, 2019
[Hide Comment] This was my first 5.8 lead route (second lead ever and climbing 10a regularly in the gym) and I found the bolt placement to be very intuitive with a solid jug or short ledge to lean on or stand when placing gear. Very boulder problem like. Most of it is wide stem moves, so be ready to use a wide stance for this one. Jun 3, 2019

[Hide Comment] Good warm up when you get to the wall. Interesting to downclimb. That’s about it. Aug 26, 2019

[Hide Comment] The friction is fun and the rock is different from other walls at Smith, and the first bolt can be clipped pretty easily safely, but otherwise uninspired climbing. Mar 22, 2021
