A unique climb for sure. A "girdle Traverse" according to DK. Start on the far right side of the roof, scurry up the easy slab, then start the long trip out left, following the obvious crack weakness, often making more sidewards progress than vertical. The crux is a fairly bouldery long reach straight left to a good pocket off a vertical shallow sidepull pocket. Once you get past this its more or less pretty great holds the rest of the way, though the feet suck so you have to decided whether to campus it or heel hook. Once you pull the final roof an easy slab leads to the anchors.
I found it tough to rest anywhere as its pretty sustained. A little dirty but hopefully it will clean up with more traffic. Don't fall anywhere between bolts or you'll be "boinging" the juice out of your arms.
I personally found it quite stiff for the grade.
Start on the far right side of the roof at same first bolt as "cobble reality" and then start climbing straight left.
All bolts. Well bolted. Currently equipped with steel permas on all bolts. Mandatory following on TR to clean if the permas aren't there.

It would be a great service to this route to have it end at the last bolt before the chains. The climbing after that is 5.4 and adds nothing other than horrendous rope drag. Trying to belay your follower on the clean is almost as pumpy as actually climbing the route. We set up a 3-to-1 pulley on the belay to help, and it was still a terrible chore to pull the rope. This is a fantastic route. It's really too bad that your last impression of it is the miserable amount of work it takes to clean. Sep 17, 2020

On the tougher side of .12b in my opinion.
If you have have _Gun Tower_ (a classic .12c at the Compound) in your sights, then _Power Trip_ is a great way to beef up before humping up to the Compound, as it is eerily similar: traverse left and redpoint crux at the end. Jul 14, 2022
Wherever my Van is.
I still unclipped anchors and last perm to lower off 2nd to last with no rope drag. Aug 25, 2023
