Description Suggest change

Some funky tufa moves for the first 3 bolts get you to a stance below the steep wall.  Some thin moves gain wonderful pockets and a great jug-flake.  Get a good shake here and enter the long crux, which involves wonderfully technical climbing with a very tough move off of a left hand sloper.  The crux ends at a perfect right hand, full pad crimp and then steep jugs take you to a no hands rest.  The last 30 feet or so is pure icing on the cake; athletic endurance climbing on pockets and a single tufa at the end.  Careful of the final 5 feet, as the tufa gets very thin!

I found the bolt placements through the crux to be very poor.  I had to extend draws through the crux to be able to clip from good holds instead of making hard moves and clipping after.

The RockFax guidebook says that the crux sloper hold broke further in 2014, making things a bit more difficult.  Conditions and height play a big part in the crux as well.  Crisp temps and/or height will make things significantly easier.  Being short and/or warm conditions will make things the opposite of easier.  Don't turn into a Kaly Diva when you fall over and over again...
