Description
An awesome pitch and one that should clean up to be a really popular route. We were pretty torn on the grade as the roof is definitely hard to grade. Seemed about as hard as Cat's Ass or Afro Samurai which are both 11d.
Clip a high bolt after climbing a flake for 20 ft. Runout but it's 5.5 moves with jugs. Currently there is a botched bolt so clip the higher of the two. Move up and left to surmount a stance below a face with two very different cruxes to navigate before reaching another stance below the roof. Clip the fixed draw and get ready for the business. Tackle the short but powerful roof and lip above and enjoy the view! 2-bolt anchor.
As always with my new routes I'm wavering on the grade. Input always helpful!
