Description

Start on the easy blocky jugs at the base of socrates/defender/Rats area. From an easy stance, clip the first draw and boulder the power crux of the route turning the first big roof. Decent rests separate undercling intensive boulder problems above, with multiple physical and complicated red point cruxes. The slight proximity to other routes and lack of independent start and finish take away a star, but the movement is unmatched at t wall. A note, this climb may feel significantly harder for shorter climbers... Good luck!

Location

This route is the bolted line between Mrs. Socrates and Electric Rats. It looks like a squeeze job, but climbs much more indepently than you'd imagine. For full credit, don't use the Socrates crack at the rest. 

Protection

7 bolts-anchor is either a single bolt with a ring or the upper 10- climbing of. Mrs. Socrates to its anchor.
