Description Suggest change

Climb the large solution pockets up and right to the 6th bolt on Imperio Direct. Then use a 12 inch, vertical tufa to move left to the vertical crack with a bunch of bat quano and a good rest (12a/b-ish to here). There are some quickdraw lengthening, clipping, and unclipping shenanigans that will both keep you safe through the 5th-7th bolts, yet reduce rope drag as you go higher; and get creative. Move up the 15 foot crack, move left and up into the larger, obvious, right-leaning crack that veers back toward the top of Imperio Direct. After another obvious, thin tufa-pinch to the right of the crack and a move to a jug, pick the left of two lines of bolts draws that takes you out left and up over the bulge. It's not over until you've moved over the bulge into the gray limestone and are standing on your feet.

Location Suggest change

As you walk uphill and along the base of the cliff from the far left/downhill side of the Hogwarts Cliff, you will quickly come to a large cave-like feature. On the slightly overhanging wall to the left of the cave is a set of link-up routes that share starts, mid-sections, and finishes. Look for the line of large solution pockets that takes you off the short, 8 foot ledge.

Protection Suggest change

15 bolts plus a 2 bolt anchor.
