Description

This climb reminded my partner of the Mediterranean limestone in Malta.  The line will lead you up glorious grey pockets and scoops, runnels and swirly whirls.  Start with a little mini uber-protected roof, pause at a rest ledge, then fire up pinches and pockets to the anchor.

Location

As you head up to the belay alcove for Orion and Petrified, this route is on your left.  Large orange-edged hueco marks the start.

Protection

13 bolts to chain anchors
