Description

This climbs the steep left side of the awesome buttress that holds Sins of the Flesh and Tikal, and follows a left-to-right angling overhang feature. Start up junky rock (5.6, often wet) to a rest at the second bolt. Swing onto the buttress and follow a couple bolts of inobvious and powerful moves to the crux: an improbable and technical sequence leading right to better holds. Make a hard pull over the mini-roof to the face above and technical crimping up to the anchors. 

Location

Right side of the Ruin. Leftmost route on the steep buttress.

Protection

6 bolts to LO
