Description

If you like crimpy, just-vertical face climbing, this one is for you!

Stick clip! Make some super hard moves off the ground (crux) up a shallow left-facing corner, then move right to better holds. Move back left to an almost-no-hands rest, then go straight up the face (sustained) to a horizontal break beneath the roof 50' up. Follow a right-leaning crack over the roof (5.8, optional #0.5 Camalot), then step left to a fixed anchor shared with Invasive Species.

The route is easily toproped by either climbing Invasive Species to the shared anchor, or climb Kittens, Rainbows, and Lollipops (5.8) to just above the roof, then scramble left to the fixed anchor.

Location

10' left of Kittens, Rainbows, and Lollipops below an overhanging face.

Protection

7 bolts. Fixed anchor. Optional #0.5 Camalot for the 5.8 section at the top.
