Description:

Great, sustained 4-pitch route up steep slabs on the Tail's right side, right of Future Chic. Pitch 1 has a wild undercling and layback moves under the roof - set pro carefully, can deck-out on a long fall. Pitch 2 moves up thin face climbing. Pitch 3 scales a thin crack up and right over a big roof. Pitch 4 works up and left on a horizontal crack to an easy slabby exit crack.

5 out of 5 stars excellent varied climb

First pitch is a desperate layback. Next a run out seam to a slab, protected by a 3/16 star driver. You are very close to it at the 10D section. After this, a roof protected with aliens. It is possible to continue right above the roof at runout 5.10.
