Description

Starts with a blocky crack, then continues straight up.

Crux is some crimps before the last bolt. A small traverse left on good holds takes you to the anchor.

Awesome endurance route; super pumpy. Harder if you can't hand jam.

Location

Left side of the wall. Scramble up through an alcove to a platform.

Protection

11 bolts

[Hide Comment] The first extension (a few more bolts up and right from the last bolt) adds some quality climbing and doesn't change the difficulty. The second extension (two more bolts straight up on red rock) yields a wild finish and the best sequence on the route, but probably ups the grade to 5.11c/d. Aug 29, 2018
