Description

Start as the first four bolts of tapeworm and split right, going up through the yellow flake and large black roof.

This thing is really phenomenal with fun memorable cruxes connected by strenuous rests. One of the best I've been on! Face climbing on gear.

Location

Start as tapeworm, split right after the fourth bolt

Protection

Small stuff after splitting off tapeworm (I used 0.1-0.5 with doubles of 0.2). Avoid placing behind the flake, there is a good placement in the horizontal jug. Anchor up top.
