Description
This route fires the center of the west face and is immediately left of Loch Ness. The bolts leading up to the steep scoop are very run out, but can be supplemented with a few small cams in horizontal seams between the bolts. At the beginning of the steep scoop, the climb angles up and slightly left through a thin overhanging crux on small crimps. The sequence is difficult to unlock, but the moves are great and the route is classic City of Rocks enjoyment.
