Description

Really fun and varied climbing on this great little unit. Pull big, steep moves off giant jugs and features down low to a good rest at mid-height. Wrangle the tufa and blobs for a couple of bolts before a technical and crimpy crux and a not-quite-as-good-as-you-hoped tufa pinch below the huge tufa curtain. Climb up and right of the tufa curtain to a tough anchor clip.

Location

Woah, this climb alone is worth a trip to Secret Garden. There is a move towards the top where you pinch a flared tufa fin and gently rock a foot up insecurely before launching for the biggest jug ever. I instinctually said "so fucking rad" to myself and the German climber hanging on a rope to my left said, "oh it's not bad, just pumpy". I love the international scene here. Sep 23, 2019

Clipping before the crux is hard. Recommend extending the draw. A little beta intensive to remain efficient throughout. Clipping the anchor is also reachy.

It's a fun route with nice movement. The first 1/3 is positive holds and steep. The middle 1/3 is technical and vertical with a nice rest. The last 1/3 is sustained until you're past the crux. May 17, 2022

Fun juggy overhung tufa, then techy vertical middle section, then jug again to the anchor with one last problem to solve (for me as a short person). Felt soft 7a+ compared to other 7a+. Oct 26, 2023
