Description
With nearly perfect rock, good gear, and enormous jugs, this route epitomizes the Shortoff experience and should not be missed!
This is a combination variation start to "Going for Baroque" and the regular finish of a different line (same route with the lone bolt just left of the initial crack).
Climb the main crack feature just right of a lone bolt about 25' up and just left of the regular Going for Baroque start. Move past a fixed stopper to a ledge and rest before moving out left under the steep wall. The first couple of pieces are good but a little strenuous to place (crux). Climb the steep wall on amazing holds to the top. Build anchor and bring partner up or lower.
