Description Suggest change

Climb up and around either the left or right side of the lower bulge, then keep going onto all the way to the top of the ramp/broken pillar. Clip the first bolt on the face then use tricky footwork to climb past the first couple bolts to some good left-facing edges. Get a good rest then make a few tricky moves past a small overlap up high (crux). At this overlap, the route heads slightly left to join the top of Michaelangemo and easier climbing above. Climb past a pair of old bolts at the lip to reach the current anchor, which is 8 ft higher on the slab above.

For those who go to the right around the lower bulge: Back cleaning the first two bolts on the bulge is helpful for rope drag. And you can clip the first face bolt on Choss Whisperer (4th overall) and then back clean it to reduce rope drag.

Location Suggest change

On the left, triangular face of Motown, this is the second route from the left. It shares a start and finish with Michaelangemo.

Protection Suggest change

11 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor (rap rings).
