Description

This rarely traveled line is well worth climbing. While a bit sandbagged with a difficult devious crux, the rock is good, and the moves are quite fun.

After negotiating the initial choss band, climb up and negotiate the powerful, technical crux. Get a good finger slot, clip the 4th bolt, and climb fun 11+ rock to the anchor.

Location

Start just left of the classic "Black Ball Retriever."

Protection

7 bolts to anchors.
