Description
This route is unlike any other you've done before. Pulling smooth roofs with small and large features alike. When the hands get bigger, they turn the wrong direction on worsening feet and vice versa.
Scramble up the pillar. An easier 5.11+ mini crux traverses right into a good rest on the chock-stone tower. The right wall is considered off route if you want to be cool. Continue up big compression, a short traverse back left, dynamic moves and tall reaches on crimps and under clings. Pull the desperate red point crux rewarded by a resting ledge.
Fire one last 5.11 crack section to the chains. The FA and early repeats avoided stemming or flagging the right wall at the first rest and the crux soon after to keep it sustained and differentiate the line from "Callalo" on the right.
