Description

It is just one of those routes that feels like it was made to be climbed. I think it has 4 star movement but it's shorter length leaves me giving it 3.5 stars (which isn't an option so I gave it 3). Anyway follow the cracked rock up and then right. Move up past bolt #3 as the holds get smaller and make an improbable traverse back to the left (clipping bolt #4) along a sequence of crimps in a seam. Now all that's left is to make that last move up onto the slab... you've got this. 

Location

From the sweet little crack this is the second route to the right. 

Protection

4 bolts to lower off.

[Hide Comment] What an awesome climb. The description of "just one of those routes that feels like it was made to be climbed" is spot on. I will say, I am not sure if it felt quite as hard as 11c, probably more like 11a/b but I could imagine it feeling hard for a shorter climber. May 30, 2022
