Description

*This route has had some rocks break on it since it’s newer and the holds are more hidden so wear a helmet until this route is cleaned better*

The Backstreet Boys would be proud because route didn’t seem possible when it was started.  Right away holds were breaking at the base but then the higher the route went, it cleaned up fast.   The hidden flakes that you can’t see until you are on the climb help provide a really relaxing climb until you hit the crux which is towards the end of the climb.  This is an amazing climb despite it looks intimidating and is very relaxed as long as you don’t fight the layback.  Also the rock tells you to go one way but ironically….. after the start you go another way.  One important thing with this route, I didn’t clean to the extreme left of the route so there is a lot of choss there.  Belayer should wear a helmet on this until the path is obvious to how to climb this.   

Location

When you walk into the valley/canyon, it’s with the routes on the left side (north side) and furthest to the left of the routes inside the valley.  There’s 3 small huecos towards the top of the route
