Description

This is the legendary, photogenic overhanging cave route that will fill your forearms till they pop! Originally graded at 11a, the general consensus of climbers over the years is that 11c is more appropriate. Everything is a deep jug until the second last hold which will make you wish you had smaller fingers. The final jug can be found only by those who already know where it is. Stick clipping the first draw is recommended if possible.

Location

The rightmost permadrawed route in the cave.

Protection

7 bolts and anchors
