Description Suggest change

A surprisingly pumpy route that follows a left-facing layback crack with a crimpy crux at the very end.  Besides a few short sections of poor rock, the route is pretty solid.

Follow wandering pockets up a vertical face to the base of the obvious crack.  Layback moves, some jams, and the occasional pocket help you make progress.  When the route jogs hard left the rock quality of the flake deteriorates for a short section.  However, the choss is easily avoided if you stay below the flake and use the pockets to reach solid flake again. 

Eventually, you will reach the large undercling just below the headwall. Make use of a few small crimps and pull your way past the redpoint crux to glory.  Finish on the anchors for This Must Be the Pickle.

Be sure to warn people not to stand below you when climbing on this route.  Also, cleaning this route is a bit of a hassle.  Just have you belayer anchor to a tree so you can stay clipped to rope to avoid taking huge swing.

With some new bolts and some cleaning this route would definitely be more popular and will only improve with additional traffic.
