Description
"Then Moses stretched out his hand over the red sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into a beautiful red streaked vertical panel of bighorn dolomite. The waters were divided and the Landerites followed the bolt line up crisp 1/4 pad edges and single pad monos. After the fourth bolt they gained a good rest and followed 5.11 crimps and deep pockets to the chains with a wall of water on their right and on their left." (Exodus 14:21)
One of the best of its grade at Fairfield, especially if you like technical climbs with small holds. If you don't like small holds, it would be best to just keep walking to The Bubble. This route has a harder low crux than "The Plague", but is less sustained.
Probably 12c if you are tall, or if you're not soft like me.
The crux is right off the ground, so I would recommend a stick clip.
