Description Suggest change

This climb doesn't get done very often due to the trio of very good and popular 13b's at this cliff (and due to the weird A0 start), but it is definitely worth getting on.

The guidebook says A0 to the first bolt but I think jugging up to the second bolt is fair. Either grab some bad holds near the second bolt and go to the ledge off of some bad feet, or you may be able to just reach up to the ledge. Traverse right, make a couple moves up, then traverse back left. Climb a few moves to gain the rest before the crux. Take on the crux which will involve a series of bad pinches, pockets, and edges. Make a difficult clip and get through a few more tough moves to get to the large flake. Climb easier terrain to the anchors. 

Rumor has it that this climb has been done from the ground but I don't know for sure and don't know what the grade would be.

Location Suggest change

This is the next line right of Swingline; it starts left of the sloping ramp that is Phantom Menace. The first bolt is located just above a circular depression in the rock. 

Protection Suggest change

8 bolts to bolted anchor
