Description
This is one of the NRG's better trad lines of the grade. Climb through blocky rock with some pro to reach a bolt just below a mini-roof. Get your Rifle on, and thrutch through this kneebar and layback roof, looking for inobvious pro if you want to protect a bad fall into the ledge below. Past the roof, get established at the base of a tips crack, clip another bolt, and execute the extremely tenuous face crux up to a tips lock. Work up from here, with a #4 stopper at the ready to protect the last few moves of the crux. Past this are a few more moves of hard crack climbing, which lead you to a well-deserved jug rest. 30 more feet of pumpy and sequential 5.11 crack climbing will take you to the anchors.
