pretty bold, airy, scary .11a
Like the previous poster, it took me a while to get past the crux on this one. The hardest .11a I have climbed at 38, and I wouldn't hesitate to bump it a letter grade. I took numerous whippers on the bolt just below the crux (the one that has the threaded gate bail out loop, which I must confess I had to lower off of after a couple failed attempts), mainly because I was too scared to go for the next clip, which requires a holding onto a small, scary crimper with your left hand. You feel like you are up there way off the deck because of the steeply sloping ground surface, which adds to the airy exposed feel of the route. The route overall is sustained hard 5.10 climbing on the lower half and then pretty sustained 5.11 in the upper half. It'll pump you out for sure if you dilly dally for too long on the wrong holds. It is all slightly overhung past the lower roof move, so move quick!

Took me awhile to redpoint this route but it was worth it. My favorite climb at Amazonia.
