Description

Climb sweet hands jams to finger locks and small hidden pockets out left with really tricky feet past C2 to C3 and a handy rest at C3. Clip C3 and move slighty right to the arete flake system. Climb sustained, overhanging climbing with good but some dusty holds to the anchors.

Location

Locate "My Versailles Guy," and walk briefly to the left past a break/gully in the cliff. Find Thank You Minneapolis! just past the break/gully on the right just above the trail.

Protection & Vitals

5 clips to chained anchors. C5 is hidden.

It is considerably harder for shorter climbers that cannot stem the left black block in the opening moves. This is a sustained, pumpy route.

[Hide Comment] Wandered across this looking for a fun line and did not realize that stemming on the black wall was part of the climb. Stemming would definitely ease up the beginning, but there are good pockets and jams that make the crux manageable. Great line! Feb 20, 2017
