Description Suggest change

This route was almost completed by Jeff Schoen (RIP) and was finished by his friends. It is a very fun adventure that is very well protected by Fairview standards. The 11b crux on pitch 7 involves monkeying on jugs through a roof - a very memorable pitch. Second hardest pitch (pitch 2 at 11a) involves sustained edging and is great for testing your mettle before jumping on the more scantily protected lines as the falls are reasonably safe. The topo is easy to follow. It seemed like everyone I knew climbed the route shortly after the FA (ca. 2009), but it has since fallen into obscurity. I thought that it is one of the finest offerings on the dome, so go get on it.

Location Suggest change

About half way between regular route and lucky streaks - close to "plastic exploding inevitable". Pay attention to the topo to ID the start and refer to the Falcon guide.

Protection Suggest change

12 draws, 4 slings, singles from green alien to #2 camalot, optional nuts. 50 m rope would suffice. Bring approach shoes for the walk off.
