Description Suggest change

This line struck me more powerfully than any other in the area when I first arrived. In fact it was the second line I bolted here and to date is my favorite climb at Russell. You can’t look at the thing without thinking of a much more famous route of a similar grade, it looks remarkably like the profile of Predator. That being said, the techniques required for Theoretical Physics are much different than it’s mega classic sister. Jams, locks, a kneebar and even an inversion were employed on the first ascent of this beauty. So… who’s going to go for the second?

As you approach the area from main cliff you will see the striking overhanging prow. This route climbs up to and then out on the crack feature to the prows tip following bolts.
