Climb the 5.9 up to the ledge as for BBB, and then move out left. A strenuous section through an overhanging hand-crack leads to more steep, powerful climbing and then some easier terrain to top out. This is a beautiful, exposed route in an incredible setting with some powerful movement and the potential for big airy falls.
This goes through the big roof of the amphitheater, just left of BBB.
A standard rack, 2 lead bolts and two bolt anchor. You'll want some long draws to manage rope drag on the lower section. The best approach for the crag is to rappel in, and then you can also hang draws on your way down. It's best to also clip the first bolt of BBB with a double length sling before moving into the hand-crack.

It was a unique experience for me, and sending something difficult at ~11,000 feet was only the start. I had to challenge my mental game running out and extending gear to make sure I had mobility at the 2 bolt, sprint crux.
The route is currently not equipped with an anchor (although BBB anchors can be accessed). I, for one, caught the vision of taking the victory whipper and cleaning later, but the installation of an anchor would make this thing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
Thanks to the FA Mike for helping me get the send on this one. May 22, 2022
