Description
2023 Update:
The whole route has now been cleaned and bolts have been added, allowing for a link to Solitude. Multiple large rocks were trundled, as well as hours of cleaning to remove lots of dirt. The route stays drippy after rain.

2022 Original Route Description:
This is the direct start variation of Solitude. The bottom 1/4 of the route is what differentiates it from Solitude. The first crux of the route involves climbing a wet crack/overhang, and from there follows the bolted path of Solitude, which has two cruxes, one towards the middle, and the overhanging roof at the very top. The name came from a heel hook onto the ledge of the first crux, which at the time of first ascent was full of mud/moss, so it left the climbers leg covered in mud.
Location
Look for the roof containing the route Flower Sermon 5.13d, which is 30'-40' off the ground with a ledge underneath it. From there go to the right a slight bit, looking up ~15' there is a small ledge overhanging from the ground. This is the first crux, at the time of first ascent, water was constantly dripping from it.
