Description
Super fun and unexpected movement. From the ground this route appears to be a lot of friction slab moves, but in fact it possessed just enough holds to allow the climber to pull down on something on every move except for the crux. I was very surprised and impressed with how fun this route is. It climbs nothing like you would expect from the ground. You know what they say, don't judge a book by its cover.
This is a mixed route so a couple cams will help between some bolts.
