Description

Excellent route with sequential, bouldery climbing. Onsight spoilers ahead: this one features some memorable brick-like pinches, punchy roof cruxes, and a heartbreaker crux. Start off the ground at a blunt arete and tech up some subtle holds to gain jugs--or start from right jugs up a bit and swing in left. Now, boulder your way through a sequential set of squeezy pinches and heel hooks, to pop to an edge--awesome!--then chug some hard moves over the 'hang to a little breather. Navigate sculpted holds and long pulls through a little corner-bulge, and try to gain another squatty stance. Fight your way through crimps and slimps to the end.

Protection

Quickdraws. A doubled QD or shoulder-length draw may be good for both drag and better clipping in one or two spots.
