Description Suggest change

Look for black bolt hangers directly right of Amnesia. Stick clip first bolt. Start just down and left of Wise Ways.  Climb up and left to the first bolt.  Follow 3 more bolts up  the steep slab along a rib.  Avoid heading left towards the flake on Amnesia (a bit squeezed here but climbs right of holds on Amnesia).  Continue straight up as the wall steepens.  Surmount a small roof at the fixed draw.  Make a rising diagonal hand traverse on steep jugs.  Clip the last bolt and hopefully you saved enough gas for the last thin move to the anchor (traversing out left is possible and avoids the final crux).  This route is a plumb line from the top of the cliff and is a strong contender for best line on the wall.  Very well protected with great movement throughout the whole climb.  Some technical thin climbing, some steep jugs and a few long moves between good holds.  Originally climbed in the mid 1990's as a top rope route and named Tang by Joe Kennedy due to the orange powdery lichen.  It is no longer a bad tasting fake orange crystal drink.  It is like freshly squeezed orange juice.  It is also a bit tight in a couple places between Amnesia and Wise Ways but is best climbed up its own independent line.
