Description

Location: In the middle of the south-facing wall that is around the corner from the West side of Electric Ave.

Shares first two bolts with Solstice Delirium; go right after second bolt. Slabby start to a more vertical upper half. Looks pretty straightforward but feels a bit more adventurous once you're up there, with some enigmatic holds on the slab and a bit of bobbing and weaving once it gets more vertical. Super fun.

Protection

11 bolts, anchors at the top.

[Hide Comment] Decent warmup for the 11's beside, but would say that the 10c arête climb beside it climbs better. Apr 22, 2021
