Description Suggest change

A logical linkup between The Journey and Born on the 4th of July, traversing left at the final roof of the former and leading directly into the crux of the latter. 

It climbs like an upgraded version of Born, with a much harder face that builds a substantial pump leading into the hardest sequence on the headwall. 

For the traverse between the routes, it is strongly recommended to protect it with two .75s, one in a horizontal crack approximately 6 feet left of Journey's roof jugs, and another about 6 feet further left in a vertical crack near the ledge that many use as a rest before Born's crux.

As with Born, for full value climb past the anchors and take a seat to enjoy the view. You've earned it after about 145 feet of hard moves.

A 72-meter rope barely had enough length for the lower, so it is not recommended to use anything less than that.

Location Suggest change

Start on Journey, go all the way to the final roof, and go straight left after gaining the first trapezoidal jug in the roof until you reach Born's holds and clip the nearest permadraw. Finish by climbing the headwall of Born.

Protection Suggest change

Bolts on Journey to full permadraws on Born, Mussy hook anchors, and two .75s for the traverse between routes
