Description

A pretty little route with great rock and a misleading name. Although it's on the Warm-up Wall, I didn't find it to be a great warm up due to the short lived crux, gentle angle, and easy finish. It's also much easier than some of the other 11's like Brutus, or Bloody Mary.

Start to the left of the arete on some nice pockets and move up and right past the crux to establish on the main face(might want to stick clip the first bolt). Work your feet and stand up for some very cool pockets and a welcome second bolt. The difficulty eases past this point to 5.10b and the rock is a pure joy, however there is a bit of air between the last two bolts. Don't be spooked, just enjoy the sculpted flutes and pinches and keep reminding yourself that it gets easier the higher you climb.
