Description

This route is all bolted but trad gear is required for the finish, which involves linking into The Rose. Stick clip to the first bolt, then chose your stand. Down and left is harder, up and right is easier. Launch onto the slightly overhung wall, then make a challenging and pumpy series of dynamic moves to a horizontal crack. Link left into the Rose, or traverse right to the Thorn. 

Location

The bolted face between The Rose and The Thorn.

Protection

5 bolts and a few pieces of trad gear, which will depend on your finish of choice.
