Description
Fun athletic climbing salvaged from the vagaries of sometimes dubious rock quality. Definite must do for those who can. The only mar to this thug-life route are several sharp holds, some craftily clinging to the cliff on a veneer of epoxy.
V5/6 climbing followed by 12- yet sneaky moves at the top.
Location
Find the belly like bulge of Lost Resort, smack in the middle, and fire up the guns!

I returned this year with hope of fast send. But the route ended up to be more stubborn with a second crux at the end, and I had to return two more times. First 5 attempts this year, I always broke some smaller foot hold or foot chip. But for the last 5 tries rock was clean and solid. I guess it also helps that the route gets more traffic since people are looking for more remote local areas and new climbs, with all the travel restrictions. So now it is in a great condition to jump on it ;-).
They are some glued key holds which look weird but they are solid. You can still break some foot chips trying different beta or get little off the route. So I definitely recommended helmet for belayer, even most likely the rock will miss them due to the steepness of the route.
Rock is much cleaner now and climbing positions and moves are great and fun, so it deserves more traffic and at least 3 stars from me :-). Aug 5, 2020
