Description

Climb the beautiful orange (and sometimes speckled) rock under the widest part of the roof. Interesting and varied climbing brings you to a techy pumpy crux. These moves gain you steep jugs over a bulge, and the route ends on the anchor below the roof.

Protection

Seven bolts to chains.

[Hide Comment] This thing is hard! Two general ways to do the crux section - one to the left and one to the right, each with its own difficulty. I re-injured my right ring finger A2 pulley on the crux move of this route by moving off a 1/3rd pad crimp. Jul 22, 2022

[Hide Comment] Went left at the crux like the Prince of Patina did. Caught the send in the middle of a rain storm, the climb and belay spot was completely sheltered.

[Hide Comment] This route is fully perma-drawed. Thanks for the folks who developed and maintain this wonderful crag. A true gem in Southern Nevada! Oct 5, 2022
