Description Suggest change

Climb Flatliner to the crux two finger under-cling, skip the clip, and use one of two sequences to gain a tenuous clipping stance up and left. From here hang on 15 more feet of techy powerful climbing on some of the best Rhinostone on the wall. Seriously, rock doesn't get more bullet. At the end of the crux there is a nice rest. The finish is 12a-ish, but cryptic enough to ruin your redpoint. For those curious to know, while I was working towards the 2nd ascent of this route BITD, Bryan Burdo came up with the name, while staring up at the vast expanse of world wall.  Josh had called it 14a and "flatliner extension", but Bryan's name was much better, and it looks like even Josh later agreed to the 8c grade. Funny. 

Location Suggest change

Start is just right of Progaganda. One could top the wall and walk off, But most will elect to lower to the psychosomatic anchor, pull, and re-thread.

Protection Suggest change

18 bolts (fixed).
