Description

Technical crimping.  Very similar in quality, style, and difficulty to Aromatic.  A little harder and more sustained than Aromatic.  

Start right of DDD, go over a couple of small overlaps, do a distinct tricky to read crux and head for the twin black patina patches of Aromatic. Finish past the last four crux bolts of Aromatic.

May be obvious to state, but traversing into Double Dog to rest is...yikes.

Location

Between Double Dog Dare and Aromatic.

Protection

10 bolts. Shares the last 4 bolts of Aromatic, ends at the Aromatic mussies.
