Description Suggest change

This is a very cool sport (read: sporty) route that climbs through the sea of bulging rock right of the crux pitch of The Wisdom and left of Hands in the Clouds. The route name, a double entendre, is both a reference to the potential for big air on one of the route's cruxes and Cameron Tague's good-natured jab at the route's detractors, who griped that it was too close to The Wisdom when it was put up.

Climb Temporary Like Achilles and aid through the roof (or try Undertaker if you feel like pulling on what's left of the holds!) to a double-bolt belay over the lip. The route goes more or less up and left from the belay, passing two bolts on the vertical plaque before tackling a crux bulging section with two more bolts. Finish straight up on the easy corner above the crux of The Wisdom to a shared double-bolt anchor. Two rappels get you back to the ground, or finish out on Psycho Slab.

Protection Suggest change

Some small wires and TCUs can be used to supplement the bolts.
