Description

Inspirational route name. Another route with many potential holds to sort through. Tricky on the lower half and physical higher up. Up the steep face with the crux section around the fourth bolt. The face leads to powerful underclings and another tough move up and right into a steep right facing corner. Up the corner and through another overhang onto the upper face with a hard intial move, then to the anchors.

Location

Just left of Johnny Tsunami. There is currently a metal tag stating the routes name hanging on the first bolt.

Protection

12 bolts to fixed anchors.

[Hide Comment] Another fun, well protected route. The start has some tricky footwork. After moving through the crux, the holds get better, but no less obvious. I remember grabbing around blindly and then finding an awesome hold, as luck would have it. Oct 13, 2014

[Hide Comment] Awwkward and pumper climbing than Johnny Tsunami. Not as enjoyable in my opinion. A lot of the edges you think are going to be positive just seem to be facing the wrong way..... Jul 12, 2015
[Hide Comment] Awesome route! Your feet are about level with your last clip as you finish the crux, but all the moves are solid and the pro rating is G. This makes for great practice for those entering the 5.10 range. Aug 24, 2022
