Description
Start on some straightforward 5.10 jug pulling, get established near the left arete and clip bolt 4. Discover for yourself the meaning of the "infamous F.T.D. move" from the Watts description. I won't spoil it, but for some I believe it could be more of an F.T.V. move.
Persevere through this to a decent stance. For whatever reason, bolt 5 is still about a mile away. Clip the double length sling you (hopefully) pre-hung on it from this stance.
Next, decide if you want to do the top crux the easy way, the hard way, the harder way, the really hard way, or the really really hard way.
Clip the last bolt, and cruise to the anchors. Congratulations, you have great technique and flexible hips!
I'd say four stars if the hard climbing lasted just a little longer and the Tomb of Love holds didn't lie in the path of least resistance at the top. But the lower crux was so good I'm saying four stars anyway.
