Description Suggest change

This route climbs a psychedelic blank looking face with an improbable crux in the middle to finish up an easier corner. Stick clip and start on some decent horizontals then paw your way up the smooth face to find just enough good holds right where you need them. Clip the second bolt and get ready for the hardest “5.11” move you’ll ever do. The crux involves a monstrous lockoff/fingertip mantle up and right past featureless rock. After this move the rest of the route is a romp in comparison. Fun and interesting moves take you up the corner system to finish through a small roof on sculpted white rock.

Mike graded this one 11c but I think that is a hilarious sandbag. On my first try I was putting in 5.13 effort. Even with refined beta it felt solid 5.12 to me.

Location Suggest change

After heading right from The Beach access, pass the first group of bolted routes containing Blood Flower then head around the next corner and look for the stunning splotchy face.

Protection Suggest change

6 bolts to anchors.
