Description
A beast of a route from start to finish.
Start to the right of Akmun-Rah and to the left of Gifts under the crack that has an offwidth 2/3 of the way up. Start up a slab that steepens into a flake. The terrain will then become vertical briefly before rearing back into a huge, rounded overhang. Motor through some powerful, slopey laybacks and thrust your way into the offwidth. Grovel in the OW with some knee bars (guess which side in... it helps) for a few meters before you can finally regain some decent jams into a slightly overhung block feature. The chains will be just above this block feature.
