Description:
A genius line with awesome, technical moves, to a pumpy finish. Climb the low-angle slab past 3 bolts to the ledge, then follow the leftmost line of bolts up grayish rock to the dihedral. To make the first clip above the ledge safer, first clip the belay ring. Then, after clipping the bolt, downclimb to the ledge and unclip the ring.

as much fun as the route to the right and left. The moves were somewhat interesting with the dihedral, but I ended up going off route towards the .13a. You use the dihedral more for your feet and there's a mono pocket for your right hand at the top.

redpoint
Been climbing this excellent 11b route on nearly every visit to Echo Cliffs. Finally redpointed it. I might be a little stronger, but I think mainly it was the longer-than-usual rest I took near the top at the start of the dihedral part.

Awesome
Great route...toughest/most technical move is getting past the first bolt above the junk ramp. Rest of the way there are some technical spots but it is then more strength than technique. Great route. 11b in the guidebook.
