Description

After traversing over a moss-covered slab to get on route, this climb follows a curvy dihedral leading to a series of spectacular stemming moves for the middle part of the climb.

The top is a bit slabby and run-out to the anchor.

Location

Second line of bolts from the bottom of the hill. Look for the lighter-colored dihedral section indented into the wall

Protection

10 bolts and bolted anchor with rap rings

I counted 10 bolts before the anchor. If you're worried about runouts, I'd say it's about 5.6 slab to get to the first bolt and about 5.9 slab from the last bolt to the anchors. Jan 15, 2021

Tightly bolted. Great stemming movement over sections of soft rock Nov 15, 2022

Definitely the most striking line at this crag... get on it! Nicely bolted in the cruxy sections, and the "runout" to the finish felt pretty chill. Very different style from Money Shot to the right, and some of my friends thought it was easier than that one. Pro tip: you can get cool angles of your friends on this route from the approach trail (assuming you took the uphill one) Oct 2, 2023

Secure moves through most of the stemming to a vertical stemming crux. Thin and tricky to get out of the stemming into face climbing. 2 hangs - will have to go back for the redpoint! Oct 31, 2023
