Description
Climb up the pancake and through the first 5 bolts of Honeybadger until you can step left to the shallow, right facing corner. Interesting moves up this feature bring you to the start of the real business. Dance your way left on the horizontal, crystalline dike with excellent moves and perfectly spaced bolts for about 40 feet. Once you reach an undercling flake, make a few dubious and delicate moves straight up to exit the traverse (crux). Clip a bolt, finish up and right on easier ground, and give your toes a break.
A fitting name not only for the locale and nature of the climb, but for the lightening bolt-esque shape of the line.
Be wise with which bolts you extend to reduce drag.
