Description

this is another great route at the peg leg wall. start up a flat face on long reaches between good pockets, with each move seemingly increasing in difficulty. this culminates in a cruxy section through a bulge and a high reachy clip at the last bolt below the anchors. a few more fun moves and you are at the chains.

the rock on this is pretty sweet - some nice black stone with cool features.

Location

on the far left side of the peg leg wall (furthest left major panel of the three). this is the right most route on the panel, about 15 feet right of a large block. nice flat area here to set up shop.

Protection

4 or 5 bolts and anchors. bring 6 draws and anchor draws and you should be good.
