Description:

Easier with a longer reach. Climb to the first bolt of The Alignment, then fire up on pockets and liebacks to a stance at the top of a flake. Dispatch the burly boulder problem to the final bulge.

3 out of 5 stars Anything but meaty

Quite fun up to the crux. Pretty thin - I pulled it with a desperate thrutch - my 5'5" partner ALMOST onsited, so it is possible to crimp your way through the reachy crux. Watch out for the crux clip (last bolt). Count on preplacing the draw or clipping AFTER the crux.
