Description
This is a good endurance climb, similar in style and difficulty to Easy Rider. Start as for Last Rites, but head straight up at the second bolt (Last Rites breaks to the right) A couple bolts of moderate vertical climbing put you at the base of the overhang. From there, sprint up the sustained head wall, aiming for the first big hueco for a sit-down rest. From here the climb is more broken up with little boulder problems separated by sit-down rests.
This difficulty of this route is somewhat butt-dependent. It is significantly harder for those with Diminished Gluteal Syndrome, as they will be unable to fully exploit the multiple sit-down rests.
