Description Suggest change

The only long, moderate route at sector Smoki. This rig is quite the adventure, and climbs better with a few extended draws. Start up a grey face with a low crux around bolt 3-4. This felt like the hardest individual move, using the only tufa on the whole route. Work up the arête and then trend left to get into another small pumpy crux or two on the orange rock. Yes, the holds are there and they are good! Look closely.

From here the route gets a little more vegetated as you move right from the biggest rest hold. Work up the corner using some light stemming and potentially some gardening. You'll find one more crux that gives you some classic exposure as you step left onto the face, from a small 2-finger pocket and maybe a sloper. Finish on easy, dirty terrain to chains. 

A classic, if it cleans up a little. No choss...just weeds and dirt. You can probably do this with a 70m, but tie a knot at the end.

Location Suggest change

Go past the last cave on your right on the far end of the wall, and between this and the last wall with some hard routes you'll see this route in a small clearing with the name painted at the base.

Protection Suggest change

18? bolts, anchors with one carabiner and one quicklink. Bring a few slings for the furthest right bolt above the low crux, and a few other spots where the route changes direction.

These are the only anchors I found here without a connection between them. You can also top out and walk around.
