Description

Bolted By: Cuca Abularach and Luis Giron. Mar 2018. 

Orange #4 on Sector 2 Topo Picture.

Interesting route that goes up in a semicircle. It is a new route so it might still be dirty. A HELMET IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The reason is that once you get to the crux near the 3rd clip if you dont make it to the 4th clip the pendulum can cause you to fall backwards and hit the rock with your head.

Location

Once you get to the top of the path leading to sector 2 you will see a tree on the left and a dead skinny stump on the right. Follow the path to the left for about 10 feet and you will see the starting holds.
