Description:

Punishment for Shoplifting starts 15 - 20 feet left of the blackish water streak that has Psycho Hose Beast running right up it. A slightly airy first clip with a burly move launches the route. Follow up a corner/seam system for six or seven clips on great stone, well protected, and equipped with a host of good moves. Edges and laybacks. The exit at the top of the corner/seam seemed a bit spooky inasmuch as the moves were a bit in-obvious, however, a near horrizontal crack just below the anchors will provide a fine answer for the finish, if you look around for the feet. This fine line is well worth two stars, and well worth the short hike.

4 out of 5 stars One Fall...

Made it past the first crux, then got to the layback section with is NOT an obvious layback. I tried to go straight up, down climbed a few feet, went straight up again and fell. After the fall I did it correctly with a layback which made it a ton easier!
