Description

This is an interesting route that wanders around some trashy rock before an engaging finish.

Be careful clipping the bolt off the ankle breaker ledge as you enter the business.

Location

It is about 15 feet left of Headwaters of Denial.

Protection

7 bolts and chains over the top.

Another terrible shot, but hopefully it is still helpful.

[Hide Comment] Really fun climbing. Lots of cool stemming and pinching and well-protected. Belayer should definitely wear a helmet. I've seen a few good size rocks come off the top. Jul 24, 2017

[Hide Comment] This route has cleaned up well. Didn't find any loose rock. Not entirely sure how far left you're meant to start this route, but it's harder as you go right. Great route either way. Jan 19, 2021
