Description:

Newly bolted climb, does not appear in Thompson or Cater. Start on the slab in the crevice to the left of Cluster Bombs, to the left of your first bolt. At second bolt, emerge from crevice and continue up a crack. After 4th or 5th bolt, step across crevice and continue up face to shuts. Very heady for a 5.7+. Update 6/24/07: The 1st bolt of this climb has broken the rock it was embedded in and had the hanger/nut removed. Crack near the first bolt takes medium cams, or highball the start.

4 out of 5 stars Ascent Note

first climbed rope solo sport, then climbed it trad without clipping any bolts, although it was quite runout near the top with a couple nice ledges to bounce off...
then clipping bolts but continuing up the offwidth to the bitter end. I had to pull on a cam for the squirmy crux, but a fist/hand stack could very well do the trick at 5.9-10ish. have fun knee torquing and elbow jamming!!
