Description

The center line on the crag. Begin from an unnecessary cheater stone and campus up into the crack system. Laybacks and pockets... laybacks and pockets... repeat until reaching a small roof and rest. Easier climbing above the roof leads to an anchor. I employ 5 kneebars with my right leg - pad recommended.

[Hide Comment] Weird till you figure it out then classic! The "starter" stone is absolutely appropriate so you don't have to campus sharp awkward holds and rip your fingers apart trying to get onto the route, also the slab is perpetually wet the stones keep your shoes dry. Sep 11, 2019

[Hide Comment] Mega classic. The best of the grade I've been on at Charleston. No real gimmicks, just delicate but exhausting climbing the entire way. Enduro masters will likely hike this thing, mortals will struggle. Sep 8, 2021
