Description:

Great route. Runout start off of a slabby flake. Takes great pro. Nice and long with good jamming. Bring your long reach for the bolted section.

4 out of 5 stars Reachy

The first 25 feet is a great layback (don't bother with pro) followed by finger crack to a bolt. The funky one is obvious. Reachy face moves here mark the crux. Pull over this steep section to easy rock and set some good pro. The next bit to the slung horn is slabby with no pro. Great route!

5 out of 5 stars Its got a little of everything.

Looking at it your not intimidated because it starts out as a cracked slab. Feet in the crack, hands in and out of the jamable. Small run out before the bolt and big run out after. Just focus on the stem, friction, and forget that your 15 feet above the bolt. I didn't get a good stance for gear placement till 20+ feet above the bolt. Bigger gear at the top then nothing but a seam. Then on is a slab jug tug to the copy machine of a chicken head with slings. We rapped from slings down to the chains atop "just another pritty face". I would lead it again.
