Description:

A few lose blocks. This route sees much less traffic than nearby twin The Line, but the roof part of this route is amazing. The Supertopo calls that section "wild." So far it seems to me that anything Supertopo calls "wild" is a must do. This certainly is. New Information: Happy to report, the Line's Ugly Sister had a facejob. No more loose blocks with "unclear attachment" or potential "life threatening ginsu flake chop" on the first pitch. All gone. In its place a lovely section of stemming opportunity that protects bomber. Now your beloved belayer can stand directly below you with greater peace of mind. Now nothing prevents this route from becoming as popular if not more popular than the Line. P.S. Definitely two pitches, in my opinion, not three, first all the way to the ledge, second to the top.

4 out of 5 stars -

I agree with CaptainPolution, I found this route more interesting and rewarding than The Line. Excellent pro all the way to the top.
