Description

This classic pumpfest is one of the few lines on the wall that doesn’t actually have a roof. Instead the wall gradually steepens, piercing the overhanging wave through its most obvious weakness. The climbing is fun and engaging throughout, making this perhaps the best line on the wall.

Begin up the low right-facing dihedral, making moderate, technical moves to reach a high depression. Move out right along underclings and gastons, eventually gaining an arching crack in a white streak. Wander up the steepening wall, fighting the growing pump towards the summit.

Location

Just left of the metal Sector sign, this one has a plaque.

Protection

9 or so bolts to a fixed anchor.
