Description
Great progressive route! Stick clip. Start up the choss pile and pull an easy intro boulder just under the first bolt. Move left through pumpier climbing, past a crimpy traverse boulder, before powering up to the lip. A cryptic final roof-pull unlocks victory jugs for the headwall. Tread lightly over a giant block just under the last bolt.
Enjoy the vacation grade, because I did, having bolted it while on vacation. If soft grades don’t get you on classic routes, note that local SWVA rock-star describes this route as “3 stars, would repeat” (a glowing endorsement from Bradly Mathisen).
