Description Suggest change

Here is another successful reclamation project done on the amazing pocketed and tufa laden steep wall at The Bowling Alley. An incomplete line of old exploratory bolts and a low anchor was pushed to the top of the wall, and another difficult and gymnastic limestone classic is what you get.

With amazing and varied movement this climb tests a variety of styles.  Power and efficient climbing will see you through the steep section as the hard moves come one after another for nearly 50 feet before a final throw to a large hueco.  After the rest in the hueco the angle backs off, but the climb stays relentless with technical sequences and a redpoint crux between the last bolt and the chains waiting to steal your send.

The top 40 feet of this one climbs absolutely pristine limestone with amazing features that will have you shaking your head in disbelief.  It's worth getting on simply to see the holds.
